It’s blog hop day for the new release from Waffle Flower Crafts. If you have arrived here from my sister from another mister, Laura Bassen, welcome!
I have a very cheery, shiny card project to share with you today that is all about hope.

Using the cool side of the rainbow, I created a simple blend using the new Sunburst Stencil.

I love how the shiny Oversized Hope Word die brings it all together! Glitter cardstock is so fun to play with. No mess!
Here is the video showing you how I created the card:
