Neat & Tangled March Release - Day 3

It's Day 3 of March release reveals at Neat & Tangled, and today we're showing off two new co-branded sets of stitching dies from Benzie.

I do love creating stitched pieces, but for today's card, I thought I would use paper.  I love how cacti have that kind of striped look, so that's what I was trying to recreate here.  I started by going through my pile of scraps and selecting a variety of greens.  Then I cut these into thin strips of random widths and adhered them to a scrap piece of what cardstock.  The cactus was then die cut from that piece.

I used the Stitched Slopes dies to create some sandy hills for my cactus to live in and added one pink flower (which is also part of the die set) for a pop of color.

The sentiment is from the Lovely Lotus set.

OK, it's time to head over to the Neat & Tangled blog to check out what the rest of the team created, and to enter to win today's featured products.
