Stamps Well With Others: Flowering Desert

It was so nice to see this set in the 2019 Occasions Catalog. Living in the desert, we see some of the most unique plants and this set really brings out the best way to create a beautiful Prickly Pear Cactus.

This is a photopolymer set, so it's very easy to line up the pieces to create the look you want.

Recipe:
Lovely Lipstick - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Whisper White - 4" x 5 1/4" (cut 2 - one for inside also)
Whisper White scrap for sentiment

Stamps: Flowering Desert (148700) - Build your cactus by placing each of the various sized stamps onto clear blocks so that you can randomly stamp them without having to put the stamps on and off multiple times.

Ink: Pear Pizzazz and Lovely Lipstick - Stamp the Lovely Lipstick full strength and then again without re-inking to make the softer pink color.

Wrap a piece of Old Olive Linen Thread around the Whisper White and tie it off. Pop it up off of the Lovely Lipstick base card.

Stamp sentiment onto a piece of Whisper White and punch the ends with the Banner Triple Punch if you like. Pop it up over the Linen Thread.
