Hey y'all and happy Friday! I think when Ryan gets home from school today that we're going to start working on his trap for the Easter Bunny, though I question the wisdom of trying to capture a magical creature. He (Ryan, not the Easter Bunny) says he needs his dad's laundry baskets and lots of rope, so we'll see how this goes.
In the meantime, I have a card to share.
I dusted off the retired Flowering Cactus for today's card because I still love it so much. Check out this week's Freshly Made Sketch:
As is tradition around here, I paired it with the Color Throwdown:
I used Blushing Bride, Terracotta Tile, and Soft Succulent for my colors, and I was 100% inspired by the picture to use cactus stamps for my card. I would never in a hundred years have put these colors together on my own so I was surprised by how much I liked them together! And in general I am no fan of Blushing Bride, I was not sad at all to see it on the retiring list. But yeah, these three colors together totally work.
Anyway, I hope you have a good holiday weekend if you celebrate Easter. I got Ryan an egg-dyeing kit so I predict that I will be eating a lot of boiled eggs next week 'cause no one else in this house will. Cheers!
