I don't have green fingers, I don't know if that's why I love cacti, but I do. They come in some many fun shapes and sizes and they bloom. And they're easier to keep alive than other plants - in my household I'm only allowed to water the cacti - and certainly not the orchides!
I used my Derwent Inktense pencils and water for coloring - such a long time since last ans so FUN! I chose warm, earthly colors for both the flower pots and the stencilled background.
The stamps are a Concord & 9th set.

Gorge hot sunny colours,perfect to replicate the environment the gorgeous cacti grow in
I usually don't like cacti because of their thorns. But stamped cacti are ok LOL :D Beautiful watercolouring and lovely palette, so warm! The little tag with the sentiment looks so cute and fun!
Hugs
Awesome creation Pia. You sound like me, only give me something to look after if you want it to die.🤣 I dread neighbours asking me to water their plants while they are away.

I am the same-no green fingers and love cacti but with a cat indoors now-can't have them! Love the earthy colours, that stencil background works so well and like how the middle one blooms over the top-sending hugs x
Wonderful sunny colours for this lovely image. Beautiful card. xx
Beautiful card and coloring Pia. I do not have a green thumb either. I tend to over water so I do not get along with cactus even.
Sweet trio of cacti pots, Pia - love your coloring!!
Oh this is fab Pia! I have some cactus stamps - (not used yet like a lot of my stash!) and now you have given me some background idea inspiration!
Ohhhhhh, just love your fabulous card. The bright and bold colors are simply wonderful.
Fabulous cactii card Pia. Even a cactus would die in my house..Loz
Love the flowering cactus - and love the overall colour scheme - so vibrant. Thank you for joining us at The Alphabet Challenge xx Lynda/Loopyloo DT
Fabulously warm, upbeat colour palette on this delightful greeting, dear Pia. It sizzles with the sunbaked soul of summer.
