Rooted in Nature - Thank you Card

We all need "Thank You" cards to show our appreciation for something we receive from others.  I needed to make one for a customer in another state and this is the card I made which is similar to one I made a couple years ago with the Rooted in Nature set.   The colors are different as well as the sentiment and label.  Sometimes, I refer back to some of the original artwork for ideas.  I just change it up a bit which you can do with other cards you might see on Pinterest, Blogs, or Websites.  Sometimes, I just Case the card exactly as it is if I really like it and don't change a thing, but always give credit to the artist.  Also, this card can be used for any occasion by just changing the sentiment to a birthday, Get Well, etc.
