Thank you

After birthday cards come thank you cards! It's a never ending cycle it seems. Since my daughter's birthday party is this weekend, I'm going to need those thank you cards. For this card I combined two My Time Made Easy challenges: Pretty Patterns #51 (sketch) and Pretty Palette #51 (color combo: green, white, orange). The flower stamp is from PTI's "Year of Flowers: Collection" and the sentiment is from their "Through the Trees" set. To go with the color scheme, I was thinking of how you can dye the edges of carnation petals with food coloring and get that really cool two-tone effect. So, I was thinking of green to go with St. Patrick's day. And I think the effect would have worked if I had colored in the leaves. But that would have taken away from the sentiment. I think I will try it, though, 'cause I think it would look really cool.
