Many of you know that I grew up in Arizona. So probably now, many of you are thinking "desert." Most of Arizona, is desert, yes. But I grew up in Northern Arizona, in Flagstaff. However, at this point in Nebraska winter, I am longing for the desert heat of my home state. And so the best I can do about that is to make a card that depicts what I am missing!
Doesn't that just warm you right up? I made a sheet of "sunset sky" using the
Ink, Spray and Smash technique and then stamped my image. I used
Cactus Silhouette by I Brake For Stamps for my image. I stamped it with Neptune VersaColor and then embossed with Eggplant Embossing Powder. I have seen many Arizona sunsets that look just like that!
Must be time for a visit to my sister in Tucson. . . .
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteI'm ready for warm weather, too, although I imagine Maryland is not as cold as NE right now. I love the background sky you created; it looks awesome. Thanks for playing along at Guylou's Inimitability!
