Flowering Cactus with Memory Box

Hello and welcome!  I'm up on the Memory Box blog today with this lovely cactus stamp and die set called "Flowering Cactus" from the newest Memory Box release.

Here's a closer look at my card:

I stamped the image in Versamark ink and heat embossed it in white on watercolor paper.  I watercolored it with Distress Inks and re-inkers.  Once it dried, I added colored pencils to it for more depth.

Next I used the coordinating die and cut the watercolored image out and added it to a piece of Memory Box cream color woodgrain paper.

I heat embossed the sentiment and the 2 butterflies from the set in white on black card stock.

I used a black mat cut slightly larger than my woodgrain paper and then added that to a 5" by 7" card base.

Lastly I added Pastel Fairy Jewels, also from Memory Box.  Here's one last look at my card:

I had a lot of fun stamping and coloring this image and creating this card.  The new release is full of amazing products, including dies, stamps, and embossing folders.  I hope you will check them all out HERE!
