I didn't think I'd like these colors but I thank Beck for putting me out of my comfort zone. Add that to a non-traditional fold of card, and bam... I'm not only NOT in my comfort zone, I'm in a different zip code!
I enjoyed doing this and found the entire process rather... wicked. (forgive me).
Here you go:
No, the camera's not that blurry... I did a double-stamp for the main sentiment, shown here:

Love your use of corner punches and the double stamping of the thank you. This was a fun challenge.
Great job Ted! These challenges are such fun! I love how you used the text background. And the Thank You is so different. I think you have grown tremendously since you started sharing your work. Way to go!!
