Our Design Team challenge for this month was to use three colors from Kelley's new line of ink pads. We had to choose our colors before we saw the new set designs, so it could have been a real challenge! But I chose my favorites (had to have a PINK!) and it worked out! I chose Raspberry, Spring Green and Sunflower. At only $3.50, they are a GREAT deal!

Here is what I came up with:


I used Let Us Begin and embossed the flowers with Ranger's Gold EP. I then watercolored the lotus flower with my chosen colors. The lotus is the national flower of India, where Mother Teresa did her life's work and held citizenship. It starts as a small flower down at the bottom of a pond in the mud and muck. It slowly grows up towards the waters surface continually moving towards the light. Once it come to the surface of the water the lotus flower begins to blossom and turn into a beautiful flower.

My designer paper is from the K & Co. Wild Raspberry Collection.

I love this new set and the accompanying Mother Teresa!
