Golden Lotus

 Hi,

Cindy here to share another 'Add Some Gold' inspiration project.  Yes, I was like gold, gold, gold!! 😁

So technically my lotus flower isn't painted gold, but surrounded by gold embossing I think it kind of has that golden glow to it?!

I used Hero Arts Water Flow Slimline Stencil for the background.  And Hero Floral Lotus Stamp and Frame cut for main focul, however it's been retired.  There are several stamp and die set that include beautiful lotus/waterlilies, these could be a great addition to you stash.  For example, Hero Arts Water Lilies Fancy Dies, Hero Arts Color Layering Dragonfly, and Hero Arts Koi Bunch . . . etc.

For more details please visit Escape To Stamping.

Hero Arts is this month's sponsor, and the challenge prize is $25 gift card to their store.

Let's meet up at the challenge gallery!

Be my Valentine with Lawn Fawn

 Hi there - Dawn here to share my Valentine card 

We have an awesome new sponsor, none other than Lawn Fawn!

The challenge is Valentines, so make our hearts happy because it's time to plan and make those fun, sappy, elegant, heart-felt cards for our next holiday, Valentines Day.

Lawn Fawn's Prize is a $25 gift card.

I picked up a cute Lawn Fawn die set just before Christmas.   So here's what I did 

The die set "Candy Hearts" is super cute.   I die cut the sentiment dies in different tones and shades of purple.  I die cut the plain layer with white card and the the IOU from red so I could layer in the red heart.  I found some pretty patterned paper and used another shade of purple for the lower part of the card.   I used a sentiment from a Clearly Besotted stamp set.  I decided it needed a little something more so die cut a Spellbinder's edge die and added some gems along the top.  

We would love to have you join us at Die Cut Divas.  

Dawn and the Divas.
