I love to make encouragement cards to let people know they're being thought of and prayed for. I've got two I'm sharing today.
The first is super-feminine, and uses a sentiment from Power Poppy 'Olive and Oak Expanded' clear stamp set. I stamped it onto an oval die cut, which had been shaded (before stamping the words) with Antique Linen Distress Ink while it was still in the metal die. The paper is from DCWV Nana's Nursery: Girl, and I used a bit of crochet lace and a paper gardenia from iamroses.com.
The next card was made for my brother and his wife as they experienced tremendous flooding in their home during Hurricane Harvey. Most of their belongings were ruined by water in their house. My brother actually took a canoe over to his home to see what kind of damage had been sustained. 😢
The card was just a little something to let them know that we wished there was more we could to help but that we were thinking of them and praying for them.
Thanks so much for your visit today. Hope your day is beautiful! God bless you!

Another lovely pair of cards Colleen!
Hi Colleen! I have really been enjoying checking out all the lovely cards!! Hope all is well with you. I see you still are being creative and making gorgeous projects.
Both cards are perfect for their intended purpose. I love that little vase of flowers on your second card with the sun shining through the window. A ray of hope.
