Earthen Textures Quick & Simple Thank You Card 

Earthen Elegance

Today we are taking another look at the Earthen Textures stamp set and companion products before they retire in 6 weeks. For you I made two Quick & Simple Thank You cards using the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper. These cards are suitable for all skill levels.

Below you find a picture of a second card made with the same stamp set and Designer Series Paper. Only this was done in Moody Mauve and Bubblebath Cardstock. Ink colors were Moody Mauve, Smoky Slate and Pebbled Path. Ribbon is Natural 1/4” Wavy Trim. Happy Stamping!
