Our family was so happy to say goodbye to 2020! We were hoping that 2021 would bring everyone much happiness but so far, not so much! Even the weather has been atrocious and we've had flooding, landslides and beach erosion. We happened to arrive for our usual morning walk on the beach on Sunday just before high tide and although we did not get our walk, we were treated to some absolutely amazing and awesome wave action. A little silver lining there!
Hero Arts included a wonderful two piece die set in the latest monthly kit and because I find paper piecing so relaxing and such fun, I used the die on four different floral backgrounds intending to recreate the word Hope by gluing in the colored pieces. I was able to make four cards with the four cuts.
And yes, there is one purple piece in there because I lost the green one I planned on putting there! I transferred the die pieces onto an old, well used, Cricut mat that I had cut into four pieces, after running them through my Vagabond but still managed to lose 3 little pieces!
Background: Distress Oxides, Speckled Egg, Broken China and Blueprint Sketch
Sentiment stamps: Hero Arts, Sunny Studio

And then as I was clearing my workspace, I noticed that I had put one of the die cut negative spaces on a piece of iridescent paper left over from another project and voila! There were four more cards begging to be made!
And inside:
'Hope' the recipients like their cards as much as I enjoyed making them. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay dry! : ) Christine
