This card features the new stamp set called "Hatbox Florals" and is the perfect set for Moms, friends, and more! There are a ton of awesome sentiments for Mother's Day, but it definitely stretches beyond that. I decided to make a "hello" card and not even use the Mom sentiments. Instead, I used another fabulous new set, called "Word Up". It has every type of sentiment that you could possibly need. I especially love it paired with this new "hello" die that is part of the new word duo confetti Cuts. This particular duo is has "hello and thanks".  I've used quite a few of the new word duo Confetti Cuts this week, so stay tuned for more examples.

To begin my design, I stamped all of the line art images using black ink and colored them using Copic markers. I used the coordinating "Hatbox Florals Confetti Cuts" to die cut them. I set them aside so that I cold work on the rest of the card elements. I die cut the "hello" 4 times and glued them together using liquid glue. The "just a note to say" sentiment is heat embossed in white.

I created the frame by using the new Stitched Rectangle frames. This is the smaller of the frames, but I have used the larger ones in other examples this week. Can we just talk about the pattern paper? It is so much fun! It is called "Darling Dots" and is so perfect for Springtime crafting! I thought it paired nicely with these fun florals. 

I layered everything up onto a white panel that is die cutting using the Diagonal Stitches Coverplate. I just love the detail that it adds to my designs! I added a few sparkling clear rhinestones for sparkle. I hope you've enjoyed today's sneak peeks and join me again tomorrow for Day 2 of the countdown to confetti! Thanks for fluttering by!
