My card today was made with the new Rainbow die! Of course, this die makes rainbows in a flash, but I wanted to do something a little more graphic. So I die cut arcs in gold, mint, and coral and arranged them like this...
Thanks for stopping in today for the first Paper Smooches blog hop of the year! Kalyn's next on the hop! The gals have wonderful things to share today, so I do hope you hop all the way through! Hugs!
