Baja Breeze thanks you note cards

2009-01-02T15:00:00.000-06:00

I needed thank you cards to send to family and friends. I did not want a bulky card this time so I made these note cards to send. I used Baja Breeze ink and card stock for the base and circle of sponged color. the Stamp set I use today is From Stampin Up called "Pocket Silhouettes" inked in basic brown ink.

Happy Stamping!
