You're In My Thoughts

Lotus Blossoms Made Me Think of You!

I think I have Lotus Blossom Fever. Is there such an illness?

I'm seriously having so much fun trying different color combinations with this three-step stamp! I don't know why it took me soooo long to ink up this stamp from Sale-a-Bration 2015!



Lotus Blossom You're In My Thoughts Card


To create this card:

  • The card base is So Saffron cardstock, 4-1/2" x 11", folded in half.
  • Add a layer of Cucumber Crush cardstock, 3-1/2" x 5".
  • The next layer is Designer Series Paper, cut to 3-1/4" x 4-3/4". This sample uses Sweet Sorbet (retired)
  • Cut a piece of Whisper White 3" x 4-1/2".
  • Stamp Your greeting in Calyspso Coral at the top. This sample uses You're in My Thoughts from A Dozen Thoughts.
  • Stamp the 3 step Lotus Blossom using Calypso Coral, Crisp Cantaloupe and So Saffron, leaving room for the stems.
  • Stamp the stem (2 stamps), using Garden Green for the center of the stem, then stamp off Garden Green before stamping the outer stem.
  • Stamp some Gorgeous Grunge dots in So Saffron at the bottom.
  • Adhere the Whisper white layer.
Voila!
There you have it - a simple pretty card that's flat and easy to mail, to let someone know you're thinking of them!
