I made two more cards using the Lotus Field press plate/stencil bundle from Hero Arts.
This amazing shimmery pink card was pressed using Lisa Horton metallic ink in Lovestruck. It gives amazing coverage.
I actually Googled photos of lotus flowers, and there are quite an array of beautiful colours! It inspired me to experiment a bit with the stencils, and go bold with my inks.
For my tan background card, I pressed the plate with Betterpress Tawny Brown ink. This was the first press that I ever did with the plate, so the coverage is not perfect (press plates need seasoning, just like stamps do), but I actually love the mottled look that it gives.
Even the image itself is not great, I rolled it through my die cut machine twice (which isn't recommended!), and the plate shifted a little. I finished it up, and loved how it looked anyway.
Both sentiments were glimmered, the bottom one being a reverse glimmer image. You can find the Lotus Field bundle at The Papercrafter's Workshop.
