Hello there! I had a bit of time to squeeze in for crafting today, in between cleaning the house like a white tornado. (I also had to take a quick nap, but we won't focus on that right now ;)
Felt like playing with my Technique Tuesday goodies for a change, and this is the thank you card that resulted:
The punched hearts are colored with a chalk ink. They have a soft look and feel to them.
I found a new-to-me site that helps you manage your challenges: Feline Playful. SO helpful. They list challenges by day, and what the challenges for that particular week will be. This is a boon to busy stampers! From that site, I found out about these challenges......

Wow! Thanks for the link! I may have to train myself to use it, but I usually get in a hurry and don't think about challenges. This does make it so much easier. I do love your card. So elegant and such a nice way to send a "thank you". The floral paper certainly is very pretty!
