Today we are showcasing the oh-so-fun Cinco de Cactus stamp set and the Stitched Squares & More Dies. These cacti guys totally make me smile. Add in some chili peppers and darling little musical note fillers and you're ready to fiesta!

For my card, I started by stamping the cactus with maracas in Copic safe ink and then creating a mask with a post it note to cover him up. I then did a little ink blending with squeezed lemonade, more mustard, spiced marmalade and candied apple distress oxides. Next I colored the image in with Copic markers and added a bunch of the music notes all around.

I cut the Spring Tree Die from a white card panel, then used the negative from the die cut as a frame for my colored image.  I embossed the sentiment in black then added a few colored chili peppers and some silver saucers holeless sequins for accent.

For my second card today, I used the Stitched Squares & More Dies to create three windows in a white card panel. Then I placed some patterned paper from the Cherry Blossom line by Prima behind, orienting one of the windows to frame the small foiled butterfly on the patterned paper.

The sentiment is two stamps from the Year of the Pig set embossed in byzantine bronze.  I then used the Poinsettias Dies for accent, cutting them from patterned paper and then sponging the edges with worn lipstick distress ink and then layering together. The finishing accents were some of the flowers from the Spring Confetti Mix and some teeny flatback pearls.  he confetti and pearls were a breeze to add with the new Gem Wand. I finished off the card with a chicken wire embossed white background on an A2 card base.
