Delightful Lotuses!

Hello everyone! It's Juhi with my first post for August. For today's post I'll be sharing 3 cards using the same stamp set, Lotus Delight. This is one of my favorite sets, there are endless possibilities with this set.........so without further ado lets check out the cards...

Card 1:
Card using Peek-a-boo Lotus Delight Lotus stamp set
Totally inspired by Swapna's post about stretching your stamps I used the Lotuses from the Lotus delight set and used them as succulents. The pots are hand drawn, I created the background with gold shimmer washi tape. I'm no artist, but ever since I joined a course on Visual Communication I've let go of my inhibtitions of picking up the pencil and drawing! I know what you are thinking, a flower pot is not really a big deal right? But for me it is :)

Card 2:
For my second card I stamped and the water colored the lotuses with distress inks and drew some leaves to create a lotus pond

Card 3:
For my third and final card I created a night scene with distress inks on watercolor paper, onto which I stamped and heat embossed the lotuses in black.

I had so much fun making these cards, why not create a some gorgeous cards with one stampset and to step up the some fun you could enter this month's Peek-a-boo Challenge and stand a chance to win some awesome goodies.

  7. Wow!! Lovely cards Juhi!! I had the same idea in my mind about using lotusses as succulents... but I too don't have a stamp with pots. So the idea is still in the head... waiting to be executed :)
