Matted Lotus

Photo Details

Poster: ravengirl

I'm hostessing the Ways To Use It challenge and my challenge for the day is all about how to use mats. I colored my mat the same color as my lotus to (hopefully) highlight that blush color.

Thanks for looking and I hope you get to play along!

You certainly did bring out the colour of your beautiful lotus flowers perfectly with the matting, Toni. I also really like the contrast between the back image panel and the white layer. It makes for a great CAS Asian look.
