Today's faith based card was created 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 scripture based cards this year to be included with the food, clothing and school supply boxes, etc. They want cards in bundles of 25 which is daunting to our kind of card makers but 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.
This project has had a major stoppage on my part. I won't bore you with what all has happened to us in the past month but suffice to say there has been very little time to craft.
There is a bit of fall here in Alabama. September is usually one of our hottest months so it has been a nice weather break. I love fall mums so I used The Greetery Sunflower BotaniCuts to create mine. I cut the flower from honey nut cardstock for the flower then blended on rusty hinge distress ink before assembling the layers. The leaves and veins were cut from two different colors of green cardstock both of which were in my scraps bag. I blended on forest moss distress ink on the leaves. The large sentiment from the Comforting Commands set stamped in mowed lawn distress ink and then cut out with the matching die and the smaller one with rusty hinge cut with a strip die. Before attaching the images and sentiments I partially blended antique linen onto a stitched linen cardstock.
While my supplies were out I made a second card with another mum as the center piece and using all the same colors. That's the only way I am going to get this many cards completed before the end of the year. I included an older stamp and die Papertrey Ink Inspired:Lord for the sentiment. Products: The Greetery stamp and dies, PTI stamp, die and cs, Ranger Distress Ink
These cards represent card #31 and #32 of my second bundle of 25.
I am submitting the first card to the Color Hues (#94) Challenge - Rust & Green.
And the second card to the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes - Weeks #665-666 and also to the Freshly Made Sketches #653.
