 Greetings friends. It is a new year, a new month, and a new release of stamps and dies. I thought I would start the year with a sentiment that we all need right now. I couldn't think of something I wanted to say more than "everything's going to be okay."

The new Lovely Lavender Heart is obviously great for Valentine's Day, but I wanted to use it for more generic/everyday cards. I started by stamping the heart in black Memento ink onto white cardstock. I then dabbed a little bit of very pale Copic markers around the flowers and leaves to give a bit of a shadow and to make the wreath look a bit "fuller." I used the G0000 and BV0000 markers because they add just a hint of soft color without creating harsh lines.  Here is a close up:

 

Next, I colored the leaves and flowers with darker Copic markers. I really liked how it turned out and was appreciative of how fast it was to color.

To finish the card, I added my popped up sentiment and a few purple embellishments.

 

If you are looking for new sentiments for your cards, I think you will really like the new Typewriter Slimline Shorts set:

 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you stop by tomorrow for more of the new release!
