fresh lotus card

It was one of the first hot days this summer.  And how did I spend it?  Inside working on crafts of course...for at least a couple hours.  We did just get back from an awesome Greek feast out on the restaurant's patio.  The weather is perfect for outdoor dinners.  But back to the important stuff.

I took a class this week where I got to play with Copic markers again and it got me all excited to start another project with my improved techniques.  I have been dying to use this lotus flower stamp (from Savvy Stamps) that I found when exploring a new scrapbook store last month.  And also used some Papertrey card stock and ribbon for the first time.  You can also see the Copic color chart that I am slowly filling in.  The Sketch markers are really hard to find around me - everyone else is using the Ciao and Original versions.

Products used: Papertrey Ink card stock and ribbon, Copic markers, Memento and Brilliance inks, Tim Holtz Distress Ink and tool, Memory Box sentiment stamp, and Fiskars Apron Lace edge punch.
