Lovely Lotus Flowers

My lovely lotus flower cards combine the Lotus Flower pre-coloured digital stamp from the Hello Lovely digital stamp set from the Beccy's Place Store with the "Beautiful Day" digital sentiment from the same stamp set.  I sized the image and sentiment to fit on a 5.5" square panel, printed on smooth white 300gsm Letter sized cardstock, making it easy to score and trim to create a 5.5" top folding card.

I added some ripples of water around the Lotus image to anchor the flower and leaf stems to the card.  Although the cardstock is NOT “alcohol-ink-friendly”,

the Copic markers blended quite nicely, giving a watercolour effect.

The markers I used were BG70, BG72 and BG75.

   

*** WARNING ***

I love this image and sentiment, love the "water" too, so there are lots of photos.

I have made two more cards the same-but-different using this Lotus Flowers image.

My first card uses the Lotus Flowers image straight from the stamp set.

For my second card I have mirrored the Lotus Flowers image.
