While the watercolored panel dried, I assembled the rest of the card. I used a light aqua card base with a floral print pattern and a solid orange panel underneath the image. I machine stitched around both panels before attaching them to the cardfront. A piece of TCP’s new yummy mango seam binding is knotted around the card. After setting the image in place, I added a pair of felt clouds, cut from the CutUps Cloud Border die, and a button sun tied with a little orange Divine Twine. The set’s “wishing you sunshine” image is stamped at the bottom of the card in orange ink.
