Prickly Pear Cactus are plentiful in Texas. They grow in every corner and environment, from the piney woods of east Texas to the beaches of the gulf, the rolling hills of the Hill Country and the Mountains of Big Bend. And it is not uncommon to see Prickly Pear Cactus' in the heart of town in random planters.
I love Texana Designs TX020-Coffee Pot and I love Granite Ware. So I made some granite ware coffee pots using Ranger Alcohol Inks. I used Denim, Slate, and Silver Mixative on Glossy paper and then stamped with VersaFine Black Onyx Ink. I had to let the stamped image dry for a couple of hours. When the ink was dry, I cut out the coffee pot.
I then used my Xacto knife to cut a slit at the front edge of the coffee pot to slip my cactus into.
Next I stamped Texana Designs WF010—Prickly Pear Stamp
I used my Tim Holtz Distress Markers to color the image and then I cut out the top of the Cactus which I inserted into the slit I created in the coffee pot.
Below is my completed card.
