I LOVE the Lotus Blossom Stamp Set!  I tend to buy flower sets and this is the best flower set ever!  It’s essentially a three step flower and a free SAB item.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used Basic Gray for the first step of the flower.  Bermuda Bay was used for the second step, and Bermuda Bay stamped off once, was used for step three.  I made my card Note Card size    (5 x 3 1/2).  Don’t limit yourself to only Whisper White and Crumb Cake Note Cards.  The white piece is cut with the third smallest Oval Framelit.  The Bermuda Bay ring is cut using the fourth and fifth smallest Oval Framelits.

I made the envelope with the Envelope Punch Board and used Confetti Celebration DSP on the flap.  Who doesn’t love a matching envelope?

I’m sending this card to a dear friend, who made my family a delicious dinner while I was out of town last week.  Thanks Janene!
