Inspired By #112…Cacti!

Hello Folks!

Thanks for peeking in for today’s Card!

The Inspiration Challenge is from

Inspired by…112  (IB112)

Cacti!

Here is the Challenge!

I only have one stamp with a cactus…from a Meercat Stamp Set!

I went with it!

 

Here is my Card!

I had to add the iguana lizard! He is cute!

 

Here is the inside of the Card!

I masked off half the stamp sentiment…

Once to stamp the greeting,

and second, to stamp the inside sentiment!

They are both on the same stamp…

…but I decided to make it serve a dual purpose!

Isn’t that meercat just too cute?
