So hello to my visitors from Carol's blog! Glad you are here! After you hang here for a bit, head on over to Liz's blog & see what she has in store for you! Then be sure to keep going all the way back here!!! I get to be the cheese in the middle this week! Lots of fun stuff to see!!!

Here's the card:

Here is the inspiration photo:

And finally, here are the colors in MDS:

So I know it's another card with Lotus Blossom, but it's my current favorite stamp set! It's such a beautiful image! Simple yet not if ya know what I mean! I want to get as much use of it as I can since it's from the 

Sale-a-Bration Catalog! Once the catty is done in March, the stamp set is gone, gone, gone!!!! I just love it so!!

The striping is the amazing Irresistibly You Specialty DSP!  So you gotta have this stuff!!! It's got the design (in this case the stripes) embossed in clear!  All you need to do us use a Stampin' Sponge or Sponge Dauber to rub the ink over it! So cool!!! You can make your own colored DSP!! Awesome!

Other materials used are Beautiful Bouquet (Occasions Catalog) for the leaves, Simply Wonderful (SAB) for the sentiment, Apothecary Accents for the sentiment cut-out, and the Pearl Basic Jewels colored with the 

Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities!!!

Hope you enjoyed! So now start hopping around & check out what all my talented hop partners have for you!!! See you soon!!

Happy Stampin'!!
