Handmade Thank You Cards

Life has been crazy lately. I have found comforting in reading lately, and want to share one of my new favorite books. Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies is written by Tara Schuster and has changed my life and the way I see things.

One of the chapters is about how to writes thank you cards when she is anxious. It was like a lightbulb went off in my brain! I've been feeling really anxious lately, and I was really happy to find out that this helped.

I love a good cactus doodle, so I figured this would be the perfect tutorial for this week.

I started out with some sketches of succulents and cacti. I wanted some shorter and some smaller. You can find the tutorials below!

I then sketched what I wanted my thank you cards to look like.

Finally, I used some watercolor paper, cut out the size that I wanted and started to draw. I am such a fan of line drawings with splashes of watercolor. How do you think it turned out??

I would love to see any thank you cards that you design. Be sure to use the #unlockedcolors so I can see them!
