Cactus Birthday Duo

Hello my crafty friends

It's Masculine Card Monday here on my blog! I quite like Concord & 9th Turn About background stamps, and when they came out with a cactus/succulent one of course I added it to my collection. I stamped two background panels using shades of blue, teal and green for my cards today.

I used nesting circle dies to create the green frame, backed it with white card stock and added a stamped and die cut cactus from Taylored Expressions. The words are from the same TE set and they are stamped on a stitched fishtail banner.

Here is a peek at the inside:

I feel like a card with a stamped background is more special than one with patterned paper, which doesn't really make any sense. But I will need to hold onto these two for awhile before I can part with them for my Mom's nursing home.
