I followed the tutorial on Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps to make this Starburst card. I enjoy paper piecing and had never made a starburst pattern before. This is really good for using up paper scraps as well!

This was very simple and the design was very pleasing. I based it on the sketch at Operation Write Home: Sketch Challenge #72. I just colored the stamped image with Copic markers. I tried to choose cardstock for the sentiment that matches some of the colors in the flowers. Thanks for checking-in.
