Lotus with Lots of Love

Hello Friends and Happy Thursday!  Todays card features Lotus Blooms, Lily Pads, Watercoloring, Die Cutting and a Gelli Plate Background.

I stamped, heat embossed and watercolored the Altenew Lotus from the Paint-A-Flower Stamp Set for June 2021.  I die cut the focal image and mat using the Essentials Diagonal Stitched Circles from Pink Fresh Studios and placed on a background I created last year using my Gelli Plate.  The sentiment is from the Lotus set and has been heat embossed with fine detail white powder from Ranger.  Lastly, cream twine and sequins were added for additional interest.

Thanks for stopping by!  Until next time, Happy Crafting.

Your Next Stamp

Be Like The Lotus

 Hello and Happy Saturday!  Today's make and share features one of the new stamp sets from Gina K. Designs, heat embossing and alcohol marker coloring.

I used the new Lovely Lotus stamp set and matching dies from Gina K. Designs to stamp, heat emboss in Gold and cut out the large Lotus Flower and Lilly pad.  I colored both images with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and stamped the sentiment, which is also part of the set to create this A2 sized card.  For a final touch, added some clear sequins for a bit of sparkle.  

It's a lovely set and was part of a card kit that includes other stamp sets, matching dies, card stock and a stencil.  I'll be featuring more cards made with the sets in the kit in the coming weeks.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
