Thanks!

Hey there!  I've got a fun thank you card to share today.  I've used the wonderful Kennedy Grace Creations Beautiful Blooms - Sweet Rose stamp set.  And, I've also used the awesome sequin mixes Frosted Cupcakes and Leather & Pink Lace.  I've created a fun empty/negative space on the front of my cardbase.  I just cut 1 1/2 inches out of the front panel.  And then I used the rose images to attach the two pieces back together. 

 

And this is more of a side view.
