Hope in Blue and Yellow

 

Hello and welcome to the My Sweet Petunia blog. Today, I have a card that I made to give me and others hope. I won't stray into politics here. All the products used here are from Reverse Confetti. The florals are the Friendly Florals from the new release. When I started this card. I had a different idea for a sentiment. So below is a picture that shows how I squared everything up using my MIS-T ruler and the new sticky pad - how did I live without that thing. Look no magnet!

I choose to set the paper in the middle because I needed to have some card stock around the edges of the sentiment. Also I did not have another piece of this paper. I then positioned an oval die over the  sentiment and was able to get a precise cut. Proud of myself for that. 

But as I laid out the card, I just did not like where it was going. I changed up the look by die cutting Hope and its background. 

For the florals, I used my MISTI with the sticky pad and Neenah solar white 110lb card stock to stamp out the florals. After some very, very basic Copic coloring, I die cut the florals and added them to the card. 

Thanks for stopping by;

Susan
