Thank you & Just for you

Hi all, hope you are all good

For our new challenge over at 613 Avenue Create and as always it is Anything goes with an optional theme which for this month is ''Floral Delight''

 I put together a few Thank you and Just for you cards using the same Lavinia stamp, Forest Leaf. I am only showing 4 of them as I don't want overload you with the same style of cards For three of them I embossed in silver and one in gold.  I think I prefer the silver. 

I used Kuretake watercolour pens in red, orange, yellow and greens.  Sentiment stamp from Lavinia Heartfelt verses. 

Why not head on over to 613, knock on the door, enter and join in with our fun challenge.  We would love to see you there

Thank you for visiting me to peek at my simple cards
