For this handmade card, I actually started with the sentiment. In these unprecedented times, I thought this would be the perfect sentiment stamp to begin my card.

The sentiment says “Sending all the positive vibes”, which can relate to many different situations. I heat embossed the sentiment and then cut it into a circle.

Then I used another stamp that was a strip of squares for my design on the card front. I stamped that in a pattern and used watercolor markers to color the squares in.

I colored the squares so they would be in a gradient (similar to a paint chip sample). Then I added gems in a rainbow gradient pattern too.
