"Thinking of You"

I saw this sketch on "Less is More" and thought it would make the perfect little card.  I almost forgot how much fun it is to make a card that takes less than 5 minutes to make...lol  It actually took me longer to find these buttons hidden in my stash!

I am entering this into the following challenges:

• Clear it Out CAS
