April Sketch - Arizona Style

So... I am in the midst of planning our family vacation this summer, and we are going to Arizona. I know - it will be hotter than HELL - what am I thinking! But I lived there from the time I was almost 3 until I was almost 8 years old. I don't remember a LOT... but I do remember the cacti and the tarantulas. :-) So as I am in the middle of all this the sketch came around and I kept thinking about our trip and this came out.

 I flipped Kathi's sketch 180 degrees... and turned the scallops into points. They reminded me of either a picket fence, or cacti. Sort of. :-)

I used Bombshell's Desert Background Digital Stamps.  I actually printed the image out twice. The first image I colored in the greens of the cacti with the light yellow flowers and the cloud (B60 BTW). The second image I cut out with a circle Nestie completely... and airbrushed it with B32. I then cut out the cacti cutting off all of the spines. I pasted the colored cacti over the circle image. This gives the Out of the Box illusion, while in reality it is completely cut out.  The Greens are G40, 82, 85.
