I chose this photo for inspiration for a guy birthday card for a friend who is turning 91 and vacationing in AZ. I sketched and watercolored the cactus and stamped the greeting.
The inside reads: "In saguaro years you are a mere middle-aged adult."

Such an amazing and perfect take on the inspiration! FII I always forget how much texture plays a role in beautiful designs. Thank you for inspiring us to fray edges! Love it.
