Pink Lotus using the New Our Daily Bread Designs Release

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a terrific week!! Many of you are probably ready for the weekend and glad that it is Friday. Me....well...I am on vacation so I probably am not as happy to see the week pass so fast. Soon we will be going home and our vacation will be over.

Today I would like to share a card I made using this month's Our Daily Bread Release- Mother Teresa and Grow in Grace! I just love watercoloring or coloring the lotus!!!! This lotus is a very soft pink. The dp I paired the image up with is Basic Grey- Porcelain Prints and Bella Rose Dp (Pink Pirouette). It is hard to see in the photo, but it is sewn in a Gold metallic thread. The image was gold embossed and watercolored. It is also cut out and dimensionalized.

Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs- Grow in Grace, Mother Teresa

Paper: Bella Rose from SU, and BG Porcelain Prints, BG Wisteria (green polka dotted paper behind the image, Pink Pirouette, Mellow Moss, White

accessories: Spellbinder Peony, Circle Spellbinders, Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio, Pink Satin Ribbon, Cuttlebug Vintage Corners Die, sewing machine, gold cording, Hero Arts Pearls, gold embossing powder, watercolor paper and SU markers, Cuttlebug Textile Embossing Folder
