Craft: "Thanks" card

I'll admit it...I'm a scraplifter. I see ideas in magazines or online and "oooh" and "aaah" over them until I re-create them for myself. And since I usually make batches of cards rather than just one of each kind, any changes I make (to make it more of "my own") have to be somewhat easy to duplicate. Sometimes, I pretty much re-create exactly what I see. This card (above) is one of those that I pretty much just kept as I saw it, except for the sentiment. Loved the contrast of the black card with the bright colors.
