- Now grab your mini green cupcake liner and flatten it out with your hands.
- Use a glue stick to glue that piece right above the flower pot design.
- Next grab your black Sharpie marker and draw dotted “spikes” ALL over the green cupcake liner.
- Finally – we are at the end of the tutorial! To finish the cupcake liner cactus card, go ahead and add your flower & wiggle eyes to bring the cactus to life.
