Cactus Monday - White Cactus Bloom ATC

This is an example of Teri fooling around with watercolor to make a dark background for the white cactus flower. Those white cacti blossoms are so pretty, I keep trying to capture their beauty and one of these days I might just do it.

We have members that come some weeks and then not for a few weeks and that is why Mr Linky becomes so important so we don't miss anyone.

Last week Jessica joined us a bit late and she had some gorgeous cacti photos and that is where I got this image. In fact she has a very interesting Blog to enjoy any day of the week.
Happy Cactus Monday everyone!

What a pretty white bloom. I love the dark background. It is amazing the beautiful paintings you've been able to create in small scale on ATCs.

White daisies are hard to capture with watercolors. Not a bad job here at all. Very lovely. Thats why my ATCs were colors. :))
