Today's layout is inspired by this beautiful motive that is found in the lotus root. I just love this vegetable :) Let me show you what I have done with it...

Here's a picture of lotus root that has been sliced.

To start, use the lotus root & stamp it on the embossing ink pad. Next pour some embossing powder. Use a heat gun to heat the embossed powder. 

Once I am done with the white embossing powder, I tried on the Mix'd Media Ink embossing powder and I was so in awe!

Here's the after effect, look at the colors... beautiful rite?

After that, I did some stamping using the ruler stamp. 

Here's the completed layout:

I have been struggling with my weight for a very long time. Last year I managed to loose some but guess what I have gained back by year end. Can I blame the yummy food during the festive season? Hehe. So this 2012, I am determine to work out. Get sweat. And my own little word for 2012 is definitely change. I have to change everything... the way I eat & live. I need to get fitter!

Thank you very much for the inspiration. I'll try to do some stamping and embossing like you when I buy lotus root to make soup next time. :)

Great LO! I love the soft colour palette and the embossing.
I have never seen a ruler stamp. That is so fun to add to your page.
Good luck with the change of life style in 2012! :)
