Lovin' 'Lotus Blossom'

Is it Spring yet?  Isn't this a spring like card?

What a fun & easy 2 step technique to make this flower.  

• I stamped the Crisp Cantaloupe first using the solid image flower
• I then stamped the outline flower image using the Calypso Coral.  

This flower stamp set is called 'Lotus Blossom' & it is one of the Sale-a-bration (SAB) choices.

How did I get the green around the white leaves?  I sponged over the white Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper, using the Pear Pizzaz ink pad & just rubbed the ink onto it.  What is so COOL about this paper is that you can make it any color you want to.  And it comes in several different images- stripes, dots, flowers, leaves, etc.  Check it out on page 15 in the Sale-a-bration Mini Catalog.  You can click HERE TO SEE IT!
