Thank You

 Hello, Janet here with a simple thank you card. It's a cute country scene that any gardener would love.

I stamped the Bird House and Flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it with colored pencils. Thank You is stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. I layered that on blue designed paper and then on to the kraft paper cardstock. I tied a thin brown string around the card.
