Hello Sunshine - We Have New Releases!

A Jillian Vance Design released two stamp sets today. One of them is so fun and cheery, you just can't help but love it. Hello Sunshine features images hand drawn by Bunny Vance (Jillian's mom). I just love the sunflowers!! The sentiments are so happy and uplifting, too.

Here is the card I created:

In addition to the Hello Sunshine set, I used sentiments from several other sets. First, I very lightly drew diagonal lines with a pencil. Then, using my Fiskars Stamp Press, I stamped various sentiments in different colors. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the stamp press is awesome. It really helps me control where to place the stamp.

I added washi tape and the sunflower image, which I colored with Prismacolor pencils. To create the Sending You, I did something I don't like to do, but I made an exception. I cut the stamp. Yes, I did. I wanted the Sending to curve around the top and you on bottom. It worked out great and I'll be able to stamp the sentiment the way it was designed, too. I just have guilt issues with cutting stamps! LOL!
