Lotus Blossom Thank You - FMS175

Playing along with the weekly Sketch Challenge from Freshly Made Sketches Blog.   LOVE LOVE LOVE the sketch, can be used for so many stamps and occasions.  

I made the first sample and than decided the background needed a little something more, so took my Blackberry Bliss Sponge Dauber and went to work.   It still needed something so decided to try out the Bokeh Technique I have been seeing.  I think my techique still needs some "tweeking", but love the final result of my card I am submitting for the Sketch Challenge.  Isn't it interesting how the Lotus Blossoms have a different "look" with the two different backgrounds?    

Don't you just LOVE "One-Stamp Set" cards?    It is fun to mix things up, but it is wonderful to be able to pull one stamp set out and make a card.    You can earn the Lotus Blossom Stamp Set for FREE with a $50.00 product order (prior to s/h and tax) through March, 31, 2015.   Please also check out the newly added Sale-a-bration products below.
