Stand Tall, Aim High.

Stand Tall, Aim High is a sentiment from one of the new Frantic Stamper stamp sets.  I think when Kathy made this set she intended the sentiment to accompany Gladys the Giraffe but I decided to use it with the new Cactus Edger.  Something just a little different.

I used the edger as the focal point in my card not just in the background.  I went for colours you associate with the dessert and South America, greens, yellow, orange and brown.  I cut the edger
from the striped paper and then again in three different greens so I could cut the cacti and stack them on the base.  Some I used one layer others I used two or three to add some dimension.  I then placed a strip of the striped paper in behind the edger before adhering it to the paper with the clouds.  This just seemed to show off the shape of the edger better.

I attached the finished piece to some kraft card stock before adding some twine and a couple of mini flowers.

I know I usually think of edgers as that additional something but in this instance it was such a lovely edger it was nice to use it a little differently.
