Hello Reader,

Yesterday’s sketch was the perfect starting point for this soft, clean, and thoughtfully layered thank-you card. I leaned into subtle texture and gentle color using Bubble Bath cardstock, Mixed Up Patterns Mix In Designer Series Paper, and the timeless circle layers from the Stylish Shapes Dies. The Swirled Designs Dies add just the right amount of movement, while the Sunshine & Tulips Stamp Set delivers a sentiment that feels heartfelt without overwhelming the design.
