Just how beautiful is the Lotus Blossom Stamp Set? It's only available to order as a Sale-a-bration item when you spend £45+ through me (I'll explain more at the end of the post) Stampin' Up! have made this stamp set even easier to use by numbering the stamps in the order you need to use them!
I promised to tell you the technique I used for this card as I only used 1 colour ink - Night Of Navy! Just think, you could make a whole set of notecards with one stamp set, one ink pad and a pack of cardstock! That's the beauty of Stampin' Up! They know not everyone has endless money to spend so they come up with simple solutions to make beautiful projects to suit everyone's budget.
Here's what I did. Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock in half - either way works but I prefer to do mine lengthwise so I have the opening at the bottom. Fold in half.
On piece of 2 1/4" x 4 1/2" Whisper White cardstock, stamp No 1. stamp in Night Of Navy. There is an arrow at the top of each stamp to help you line it up. Ink the 2nd stamp in Night Of Navy, lightly stamp onto your grid paper, then stamp over the original image. This produces a lighter colour. Finally, ink the 3rd stamp and lightly stamp off twice onto your grid paper, then over the image for the card. Choose which stem you'd like to use and stamp in Wild Wasabi.
Layer a piece of Night Of Navy cardstock measuring 2 1/2" x 4 3/4" - I like mine angled. Then take your stamped image and angle it onto the Night Of Navy cardstock as I have in the photo.
I stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp set onto a scrap of Whisper White in Night Of Navy ink, cut out with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch and sponged around the egdes. I adhered it to the card using dimensionals. Finally, I added a Night Of Navy Candy Dot to finish off the card.
