Part II in my 2 part "smorgasbord" of Lotus Blossom card ideas. LOVE this stamp set.
Check out these amazing cards made with the Lotus Blossom stamp set below. You can earn this set free during Stampin Up's Sale-a-Bration.
This gorgeous stamp set makes anyone feel like an artist in three quick steps. It creates a beautiful flower that looks painted, but it is amazingly easy. The individual stamps have a tab at the top to help you align them, and the tabs are numbered so you will know which part of the flower to stamp first, second, and third. Try playing around using one ink pad with the stamping off technique, or multiple different ink pads to create many different looks. See my video featuring the Lotus Blossom stamp set here.
