A cacti Christmas


     I have another card to share with you today for Art Impressions.  These fun cacti and from the Southwest Christmas Set.

     I colored these guys up with Copics and then added some Liquid Applique to their hats for a little texture.  They look quite jolly for a bunch of "prickly" cacti don't they.  LOL  The Christmas lights have some Glossy Accents on them and the bells on their hats have Wink of Stella Clear glitter.

These guys just make me smile! How adorable, Tracy! Loving the little touches like the glossy bulbs and puffy hats! And I'm going to borrow your idea of making their little noses brown! Love that!
