Floral Thank You Card

Hey Everyone!  

I am so glad to be back to share with you a Thank You Card that I created for a couple of orders that I have been working on.  I have been really enjoying colouring with distress inks, and am LOVING playing with Peels Offs too!  They are so easy, and you get the same look that you would get if you were to silver heat emboss a stamped image, but it saves me a couple steps.

I am thrilled with how this card turned out, and I was pleased to be able to use a couple techniques that I haven't used in a while, so thought that it was a good opportunity to use a couple different techniques and use a layout that I haven't used before.  

The end result is this beautiful, elegant, and classic looking Thank You Card.

Here's a look at the front of the card...
