If you have been following me on Instagram, you may have noticed I’ve become a tad obsessed with hand lettering.  It is so hot and trendy right now, and in the past I have tried and tried and tried to learn it, to no avail.

But this past week, Jocie from One Project Closer launched an online course to learn hand lettering and something has finally clicked!  

Granted, I’ve been practicing for a week now, and I’m nowhere near as good as Jocie, but what I don’t have in skill, I make up for in sarcasm.  Hence this week’s free printable:

I wanted a play on the cactus/succulent trend, but nothing too cutesy, since watercolor+succulents is already pretty twee.  So I added some snarky hand lettering and I had my finished product!   I have the file available in an 8’x8’ high resolution download if you’d like a copy.

I also have the cactus watercolor alone if you aren’t quite as sarcastic as I am.
 You could actually add your own hand lettering phrase to it if you wanted.
I saw this needlepoint on Etsy and thought it would be cute hand lettered:

To learn how to hand letter, I can’t recommend Jocie’s class enough.  She walks you through the technique, shows you the full alphabet, gives you a bunch of downloadable practice sheet and then even shows you how to create a bunch of projects with you new found skills.

 Seriously, it is ADDICTING, you are definitely going to want to try it.   And don’t miss all my other printables.
