Thank You

Here's a couple thank you cards I made, in which I did a test on myself to see if I could make each card within 30 minutes. I did this because I'm so picky and always changing my original design so it winds up taking me hours to make one.

They came out simple but I'm pleased with them:











Isn't this flourish frame stamp gorgeous! It's by 7Gypsies and then I added the sentiment from Lockhart Stamps:
