Lotus Blossom Thanks
I just got a package with some of my wish items from the Spring catalog- the berry basket and Crazy about you bundle. My butterfly dies are on back order but I just got so excited about my stuff I had to just sit and get a card done. This is one I made as thank you for my customers who made a purchase this month. The base card is whisper white. I took a 1 1/2 inch strip of Calypso coral and ran it through the woodgrain embossing folder. I used my new Hello You diecut thanks in Lost Lagoon. I used the left over dryer sheets underneath the cardstock to get the chads out lickety split! Took a 1/4 inch DSP from Moonlight paper pack to an extra interest. Stamped the Lotus - first Strawberry Slush, then Calypso Coral then lastly Pumpkin Pie. I tried a bunch of different color combos before settling on this one. The stem is also Lost Lagoon- stamped off the solid line before stamping then the mottled stem in full strength ink on top. Used left over 1/2 inch strips of Lost Lagoon stamped with So Much from Crazy about You set to complete the thanks in Blackberry Bliss to repeat the color from the DSP and a pretty simple mod looking card. Love It!
