I just LOVE this Flowering Cactus Medley. I made these two cards using it….one very simple and a one a little more complex but still easy to make.
In the video I’ll show you the entire medley and then show you how to make these cards.
This is the cactus I mentioned in the video. I walk past it with my dog Bailey and can’t believe how big it is. If you look close you can see the flowers are budding.
These are the products you get in the medley. You can also get refills if you want.
