Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-a-bration has started and the new 2015 Occasions Catalog is open for ordering!!  Yippee!!  Drop me a note or fill out my Catalog Request Form if you need copies of the catalogs, they’re fantastic!!  Plus I’m offering a little ordering bonus to kick of your new catalog ordering…check out the details below.  🙂

I used the Sale-a-bration exclusive stamp set called Lotus Blossom to create my card to share today.

The Lotus Blossom stamp set is so easy to use!  I since it’s photopolymer, you can see through it to line up your images when you are stamping.  To create the focal image, I inked up the smallest flower image (marked as #1 on the stamp set) in Crushed Curry ink and I stamped it on a Whisper White panel.  Then I inked up the second smallest image (marked as #2 on the stamp set) with Crushed Curry ink and I stamped it over the first image.

Then I inked up the solid flower image (marked as #3 on the stamp set) in Crushed Curry ink, tapped it quickly on a piece of scrap paper to remove a little of the ink, then stamped it over the two other images.  It creates a really neat, layered look with lots of pretty details and depth.  I repeated the same process for all three flowers on my main panel.  I used Pear Pizzazz ink for the stems and Soft Suede ink for the sentiment.

I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Soft Suede card stock with SNAIL, the wrapped a strand of Crushed Curry Ribbon from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack (Sale-a-bration item) around the panel, adhered it with SNAIL and tied a bow.  Then I added a pearl from the Artisan Embellishment Kit and I set the panel aside while I worked on the layers beneath.

I sponged a panel from the Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP (Sale-a-bration item) with Soft Suede ink, adhered it to a Soft Suede card stock panel, then to a Pear Pizzazz card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I snipped off the edge of one of the doilies from the Artisan Embellishment Kit and I adhered it to the card front with SNAIL, then adhered the stamped panel over the doily with SNAIL as well.

I stamped the Lotus Blossom image again on a Whisper White panel in Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz inside the card.

I had so much fun making the card in Crushed Curry ink that I recreated it in Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana to match the other two colors in the Best Day Ever Accessory Pack!
