Hand Penned Petals – Monthly International Blog Highlight Gallery Hop – Thank You Card

This gallery challenge is made up of very talented stampers that create amazing cards that you are able to vote on and pick your favorites later on in the month. The top ten winners will get to be part of an International blog hop at the end of the month. I’m always up for a good challenge and this month I decided to play with an old favorite stamp set of mine, the Hand-Penned Petals from the Annual catalogue. This stamp set has a matching die set called The Penned Flowers.

I would really appreciate you taking the time to vote for my card.
