Today's card is the first of (I hope) many faith based cards I am creating for Grace Klein here in Birmingham (@grace_klein_community). This is a wonderful faith based organization that has many charitable endeavors both locally and globally. Their goal is to give out 100,000 cards this year to be included with the food boxes, clothing etc. All cards must include a scripture and can include envelopes or not. The cards they used as an example were water colored but of course my forte is stamped images so that is what I will be using. They want cards in bundles of 25 which is daunting to our kind of card makers but I am almost done with my first bundle since I have included some cards previously completed (12 actually) so technically this is card #13).  My goal is to donate 100 cards by the end of the year. If you have any questions or want to join me, please send me an email or comment on this post and I will give you the details.  

I stamped the Spellbinders Hydrangea Bouquet (Jan23 Clear Stamp & Die club) onto Copic friendly cardstock, cut out with the matching die, then colored with Copic markers. I splashed watered down shaded lilac distress ink onto the stitched panel with a fan brush, then attached the image with a layer of craft foam. The sentiment from the Stamp Simply Words of Encouragement set was stamped direct to paper using new leaf ink.
