I have two cards for your inspiration today. 

Card One: 

 IO Stamps Links:

Lotus Flower 1  F13968

Hummingbird Clear Set WP937

How I made it:

• On a watercolor paper panel, I stamped the Lotus Flower 1 image with light pink distress ink.
• I painted the Lotus Flower 1 with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor paints, and added some shadows and highlights with Polychromos colored pencils.
• For the background background and water, I used the same watercolor paints and painted the water in long brush strokes, and painted in some petals to reflect from the water.  I used lots of water and dabbed on pinks for the sky.
• I stamped the Believe In Miracles verse from the Hummingbird Clear Set when the panel was completely dry. 
• For the center of the flower, I added some tiny black beads with Tombow Mono glue.

Card Two: Black Eyed Susan

IO Stamps/Dies Links:

One Day At A Time C12340

Black Eyed Susan D12337

Stitched Tag DIE1058

Wacky Stitched Circles DIE837-YY

How I made it:

• On bristol card stock, I stamped the Black Eyed Susan image. I used Polychromos colored pencils to color the image.
• I used the Stitched Tag DIE1058 to cut the Black Eyed Susan, and added some distressing with yellow-toned distress inks.
• I added some patterned papers and a strip of black card stock to a white A2 card front.
• I stamped the One from the One Day At A Time verse onto a piece of pp, and cut it with a circle die from the Wacky Stitched Circles DIE837-YY set of dies.
• I stamped the 'day at a time' from the same verse stamp at the bottom right of the yellow dotted pp.
• I added the tag and circle to the card front, and pulled a piece of dotted Swiss ribbon through the tag.

So, there you have my Day Two cards.  I will be back throughout the month with more cards from this fabulous release.
