Hope

by: Sri Chinmoy

Hope abides; therefore I abide.
Countless frustrations have not cowed me.
I am still alive, vibrant with life.
The black cloud will disappear,
The morning sun will appear once again
In all its supernal glory.

I posted a Strength & Hope card in April to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the Stamp Your Heart Out Fundraiser but failed to provide you with details. Well, better late than never. Here is a different colour combination to the one I posted in the Promotions page.

 cardessence tips

• this card relies heavily on precision stamping and hence, the use of the stamp-a-ma-jig to ensure that the strength & hope sentiments fit the width of the WW card strip and that they run in a straight line when stamped twice side by side;

Happy stamping
