JOS Blog Hop - Something New - January 2020


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.

I have had various male members of my family who have grown cacti, whether in greenhouses or on the window sill, so thought this would make a great Birthday card for one of them/  I finished the card of with a simple twist of linen thread.

Here is a video tutorial to show you exactly how to make this card -
