Thank you for the free printable that made these amazing adorable Friend cards!

So special to be able to bring a smile when we can't see each other!
What great clean and simple cards!! They turned out awesome!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Fantastic cards! I love your clean designs. Super cool printables and you embellished them so beautifully.
I think you raise a great point in that if images are great in black in that on your card it doesn’t have to have color added. Of course it looks great both ways, so I’m liking both ways. TFS your work!!!
Beautiful, simple and sophisticated cards. Love them. Thanks for sharing!
These cards are fantastic - thank you for the fabulous ideas!
