I had fun with this one! I took acrylic paints and laid down the foundation of a seguaro on patterned paper. I layered colored pencil on it and used a blender pencil to soften the effect. Then I cut it out and mounted it on another piece of the paper, changing the direction of the pattern. Simple, but fun!
Happy Cactus Monday!
I love this one! Happy Cactus Monday.
