My project combines today's featured set with Lotus Blossoms as well as some polished stone designer paper from my stash. After stamping my bamboo background, then coloring, I lightly stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges and over the images before adding some of the solid dragonflies from the new Dragonfly Mini. Then I stamped my focal image and two lotus blossoms on white scrap card stock, colored, stippled or cut out as needed, before layering and popping up on dimensionals.
Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.
