Get ready for an artistic adventure where we'll journey into the heart of the desert, all without leaving our craft table!

Today, we're going to create our very own desert scene, complete with a wide, open sky that can be as bright and blue as a sunny day, as colorful as a sunset, or even sprinkled with twinkling stars at night. And what's a desert without its most iconic resident, the towering Saguaro cactus? We'll bring this desert giant to life giving it a fun, textured look that pops right off the page. So, gather your art supplies and let your creativity soar as we blend colors, play with textures, and craft a beautiful desert landscape that's as unique as your imagination. Let's dive into this crafty exploration of habitats and make our own slice of the desert come alive!
