Two Unity Cards

 Hey Everybody,

Our challenge is to make a card regarding our legacy. I'd like people to remember me for encouraging others with cards with God's Word or a card just to encourage or make someone smile. I stamped this image and colored it with Copic Markers and a zig pen. I used direct to paper to drag ink onto the card base to mimic the woodgrain of the bird house. Then I added the sentiment which is one of my favorites. One of my favorite pastors used to say this each time he preached before we left. He was so genuine when he said this. It always brings a warm feeling and a smile when I see or hear it.

Our challenge was the site, Essential Stencil, found here.  
The inspiration for my card is this card.

I stamped with memento tuxedo black ink then colored with a the blender marker and a water brush. It was a nice way to soften the colors that I used. I brushed color on my glass mat and used the blender marker and the water brush to apply the colors. I cut the image panel and designer paper panel with the arched dies. Then I added them to the peach pie card base. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

These two stamp sets are from Unity Stamps. I really am impressed with their line of images and sentiments. These stamps are just perfect to encourage those in the hospital. The sentiments are so thoughtful.

I really love the one on my second card. It says, One Gentle Step at a Time is Enough.

This company produces stamps and sentiments that are so real and honest. Sometimes I choose the stamps for the sentiments and other times it's the images and sentiments.

How do you choose your stamps and sentiments?

Thanks for stopping by today.

Blessings,

Sue
