Birds in the Desert

Hello Nomad friends.  Happy Midsummer.  It's warming up a bit here this week, and not just because of all the bonfires burning tonight!!  Soon there will be hotdogs and burgers, but first a little trip to the desert.

I find myself being inspired by my family and friends preferences when buying crafty stash.  Who knew so many people liked cacti??!!   I've always been a desert fan so had no problem adding this lovely Hero Arts Cactus Bold Prints stamp to my stash recently.  I did some yellow, orange, pink distress ink blending and then stamped the Cactus with Cactus Flower hot pink ink.  I decided to go hexagonal, offsetting the card front one half turn from the card base.  Quite like that idea.  I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the little desert scene from Hero Arts Where To Next stamp set.  The happy birthday, from Hero Arts Jawsome Sharks set was stamped on a scrap of the ink blended panel and I added a couple of birds cut using Hero Arts Bird Word Dies.

This makes me feel all warm and summery.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
