Growing in Unity Day 2...another chance for blog candy!


Welcome back to my second day of Unity all week long! Today I have a card for a young lady at my church who is returning to Bible college later this week. Her dream is to become a missionary, and this quote seemed to fit so well.

This card started with a sketch from CardPatterns (love that blog!), and a theme of "Back to School" the from Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog. After choosing my papers from the DCWV Sweet Stack, I stamped my image in Memento Bamboo Leaves. The flower in the corner was part of the paper design, but I fussy cut it out and layered it on some more Sweet stack paper and DCWV textured cardstock.

As a finishing touch inside the card, I inked up only the flourish on this image and stamped it in opposite corners, then used the same flourish on one corner of the envelope. I really like that; it just seems to tie it all together nicely.

Cute card! I love cutting things out of pattern papers, really makes it your own! It's also cheaper than buying all the matching stickers and embellishments.

Do you usually do things inside of cards? I never do, except write something personal to the recipient.
