Waterfront Thank You Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Yesterday I found this tutorial that I was working on to share with you that got buried on my desk after my husband’s accident earlier this month. So today I thought I’d share it with you – never too late, right?

I stamped this card to send out as my Thank You last month. It uses one of my favorite sets, Waterfront. It’s got tons of images that can be combined for all kinds of cards!
