As you can see, I opted to show off these new markers in a different way – not using today’s PAF set…. this is Be Strong (only available in the Watercolor Cactus creativity kit) – and creating these was sooooo much fun!

I started off by stamping the entire image set and then colored in all of the images using both of the new Artist Marker sets exclusively. These two sets pair wonderfully and are versatile enough for all sorts of floral combinations, other greenery, and non-floral sets alike.

I absolutely love the shades of green in Green Valley. They make just the perfect shades for cacti! And Delectable Delights browns work GREAT for dirt/soil/ground. Of course, the rest of the colors were fabulous for punches of color paired with beautiful, light highlights.
The background is alcohol ink (Pocketful of Sunshine & Sweet Dreams sets) smooshed on glossy photo paper!
