I started out with a pretty floral paper as the basis for my card. I machine stitched the edges and set it on a turquoise-ish card base, then added coordinating panels to match the sketch. One panel’s a grid pattern from the same 6x6 paper pad, one’s a solid orange for some bold contrast, and one’s made from a new CutUps die, the Lacy Floral Doily. I cut the doily from a lighter orange piece, then backed it with an aqua circle before adding it to the cardfront.
The girl is colored with Copic markers—except for her skirt, which I paper pieced with a dotted scrap. I used foam tape to attach her to the card, then added a baker’s twine tied button accent near her feet. The “sending you warm fuzzies” sentiment is stamped just underneath the button.
