Sharing June thank you cards

Sharing June thank you cards

Vellum Blossom Windows

Vellum Blossom Windows

Oh-oh, I'm back to the Mixed Bunch stamp set (W125535 or C125537) and Blossom punch (125603) again today. I couldn't resist  Today I've combined them with Vellum cardstock (106584). As the Blossom windows go off the edge of the card layer, I chose Vellum cardstock...
