Blackberry/Razzleberry Lotus Blossom Thank You Card

I made this gorgeous card with my Stampin' Up! Lotus Blossom stamp set. It's one of my favorites because the blossom has three layers and the stem has two, each can be stamped a different color so the possibilities are practically limitless. I love how this turned out. The colors look amazing together and I love that bow. Here's how to make it:

First cut a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Stampin' Up! Blackberry Bliss card stock and fold it in half for the base, a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white card stock for the front layer, a 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" piece of Blackberry Bliss for the image background and a 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" piece of white for the image. 

Then emboss the front layer with a Cuttlebug Birds and Swirls embossing folder and set it aside. Next using a Stamp a ma jig stamp the stem in Garden Green ink by double-stamping (inking your stamp, stamping on scrap paper, then stamping on your card stock w/out re-inking) with the solid stamp and regular stamping with the highlighting stamp. Then again using a Stamp a ma jig, stamp the blossom's first layer in Blackberry Bliss ink, the second layer in Rich Razzleberry ink and then double-stamp the third layer in Rich Razzleberry ink. Next stamp the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink, add the self-adhesive pearls, attach the image layer to the Blackberry Bliss background layer. Then attach the Blackberry Bliss ribbon on both sides of the background layer, create the bow with a mini bowdabra, attach it to the ribbon with hot glue then attach the button. Finally attach the background layer to the front layer then to the base and enjoy!
