B is for Blooms

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.

This card is for Alphabet Challenge - B IS FOR BLOOMS

    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!

    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

    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.
