Time for another exciting challenge over at 613 Avenue Create. This challenge is as always anything goes with an optional twist of Give Thanks. 

I decided to use the optional twist for this simple thank you card.

I used some designer paper from my stash for the background of the card along with a rainbow digital stamp that I coloured with my copics and a Wink of Stella. I added some some hearts and a couple of clouds at the end of my rainbow. 

When I wrote the sentiment I was thinking about a very special friend I have that is always there for me when ever I ask for advice or need a friend to talk to. We have had many laughs and tears together over our long years of friendship.
