I am so excited to share this thank you card with lots of details and with a soft, pink, and spring color. Die-Versions released lots of great background dies this month, along with some brand-new edge and border dies. I especially love working with these background dies, they are so detailed and fun!

I used the Circles Background on this card – it is filled with lots of circles, small and big! You can do a lot with this, but I wanted to keep the card simple so the background would stand out nicely.

For the sentiment, I used one of the greetings from the Everyday Greetings Stamp Set by Inspired By Stamping. If you never used IBS stamp sets, you need to get some! IBS offers lots of stamp sets from outlined and detailed images perfect for coloring to sentiments for various occasions. Love them!

I thought thank you card or a friendship card sentiments would be perfect. The fonts are elegant and simple, they shine perfectly without any other accents. Since I didn’t want to out-dress the card, I used a baker’s twine and tied a quick bow for a nice, clean finishing touch.

I hope you enjoyed the card! Please leave me a comment to share what you think about my project. Your next stop on the hop is Patti J. Gilliam! If you ever get lost in the hop, you can always go back to the beginning, Die-Versions blog, for the complete order list. Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome weekend!
