The Joy Of Sets Blog Hop is taking place today and with the start of the new Year it is "Something New".
Well as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and the launch of the new Mini Catalogue as well as Sale-A-Bration where you can get free products for a qualifying spend, my choice was huge.
I decided to use the Gang's All Meer one of the free Sale-A-Bration sets. I wanted to do a masculine card so decided to use the lovely cactus image and colour it simply with our ink pads and an aquapainter.
The colours I chose were, Mossy Meadow, Granny Apple Green for the cactus, Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo for the flower, and Crumb Cake for the ground.
