This is my submission for two challenges... today's TLC228 and Saturday's IC187. I used the great instructions from today's TLC to create this stand Up Card. Very easy to do and a neat design! I had chosen a poster for my inspiration on Sat. but didn't have time to play then. I chose this poster: http://www.posters.com/pv-388479_Water-Lilies.html
I used the new July 1 releases from Our Daily Bread designs and stamped my Lotus Blossom with VersaMark on GPW and heat embossed with SU! Black EP. I lightly watercolored with the new ODBd ink pads in Terra Cotta and Olive, then painted with Shimmerz in Angel Wings and Candle Light for the centers and leaves. I cut out the design and then cut a panel of Frosted Pink... no name on it, sorry. I used my Nesties Blossom to cut the pink and embossed it. The dp is actually computer generated... the inspiration for my mainly black and white card. I was actualy planning on doing the image in black and white too but decided to pop it with just a hint of pink and green. The sentiment is just part of a sentiment from the set from ODBD called Let Us Begin, as is the small corner Lotus blossom I stamped in both back panels. I cut the sentiment out with a Nesties ribbon tag set and attached with shimmery swiss dotted sheer pink ribbon. I added little pearls to finish it off.

This is SO pretty! The pink shimmery card stock is a gorgeous backdrop for your beautiful water lilies and the pearls add a nice, elegant touch!
