Singled colour Lotus Blossom

Good morning all!

As promised on Wednesday, here is the final card we made at my craft class last Friday...

We used the gorgeous free Sale-A-Bration Lotus Blossom stamp for this one, and also did it in two colourways.

These are made in Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana, with a Pear Pizazz stem.

To get the lovely shading in the flowers, I actually used the stamps in the reverse order to the recommended. (each of the 3 stamps has a number order in which to use it printed in the packaging).

I inked up and stamped off stamped the number 3 stamp first (the full flower), then stamped it in place on my card. I then used number 2, then number 1 and got this lovely subtle tone on tone effect, with one ink cartridge. 

Which colour is your favourite? The jury's out on this one for me!

To get your free stamp, simply spend £45 on Stampin' Up! products with me, and you can choose from this, or lots of other gorgeous products! Check out my online shop link in the sidebar >>>>
