Flowers of Friendship pretty thank you card with matching punch

Sometimes I get so caught up with the Holiday seasons (Fall, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas) I miss the fun simple sets like the Flowers of Friendship in the annual catalog.

Here's a cute card, from my friend Ginny Ek using this great stamp/punch set.  The designer paper is "hand-penned" and the flowers are colored with the fabulous Blends (alcohol markers).  Gems are part of our new in-color collection.

Enjoy!

Happy crafting MaryKate
