~~~ Thank You ~~~~

Hi folks,

Hope this finds you well.

Today starts a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin Challenge

where we have "Thank You" as the theme.

I've coloured  with Copics a Marcella Hawley digital stamp.

I chose the image with the light lines.

I saved this for a quiet afternoon, just me and my Copics.

The "thanks" stamp is by Inkadinkado and actually says

Thanks for Thinking of Me.  I taped the wording and just stamped "Thanks"

I used the complete stamp on the inside.

Copics:
Tulips - RV19, 04, 02,000, 0000
Stems: Y19, 23
Leaves: G17, 19, 07, 03, YG13
