Digital Tuesday Challenge 34 DT Card

Good evening everyone, hope you are all well. I am a bit late this week with my DT card for Digital Tuesday but better late than never I suppose. This weeks challenge is set by the lovely Lora who wants you to make a Thank You card. I am really happy with how this card has turned out, I had a picture in my head of how I wanted it and it has basically come out just like it, it is a very simple card for me as I have held back on the embellishments but it made a refreshing change and I must let myself make more cards like this. Hope you can join in the fun and take a peek at all the other fantastic DT creations.
