Happy Cactus - Polkadoodles NEW Release

 For a Crazy Plant Lady!
For all the gardening, plants and cactus lovers, there's a NEW release at Polkadoodles which is perfect for all the green-fingered crafters. 
Happy Cactus Collection is jam-packed full of the cutest cactus and succulents, with matching papers and sentiments. Pre-coloured or B&W. 
For this card I used pre-coloured Cactus Family along with backing papers from the collection. The leaves were fussy cut out from one of the papers, and attached to the top half of the circle die cuts.  I'm just loving the green and pink theme in this collection.
