Sunshine Sayings Hope

IMG_8524Did you survive the 4th of July and all of the festivities?  Our 4th was low-key and that was just fine with us.  I did make the mistake of going to the grocery store in the morning….along with everyone else in my town.  Sheesh!  They couldn’t keep the carts stocked by the front doors.  I lucked out on that account though.  Patience was definitely the key word.  🙂

Simple, yet elegant.  Those are the words this card brings to my mind.  I designed a card for my next class using the heart from Sunshine Wishes Thinlits and decided I wanted to make a card with the flower too.  This is what I came up with.  The embossed background (Petals Embossing Folder) and the many layers really make the focal point pop.  You know me, I love layers (and Melon Mambo!).

I actually die-cut two of the word “hope” and adhered them together.  It really made the word stand out a bit more.  I’m definitely going to try that little tip again sometime.

I really like the new Petals Embossing Folder.  Even though it’s a busy design it’s subtle which makes it perfect for all types of cards.

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
