Prayers & Strength


This is a card of encouragement that I made using my new (to me) Faith and Hope set from Papertrey.  Everything here is pretty straightforward.  I wanted to keep the card very simple and just showcase the ribbon.  I thought I'd try something new with my Mat Stack 3 die and turned it sideways after stamping it in Fresh Snow ink.

This is for two challenges this week:






All supplies from Papertrey Ink unless stated.

Stamps:  Faith & Hope, Mat Stack 3, Polka Dot basics II
Paper:   White, Scarlet Jewel, Pretty in Pink (SU)
Ink:   Fresh Snow, Vineyard Berry (CTHM), Pretty in Pink (SU)
Other:  Ribbon die (faith & hope), Mat Stack 3 die, 1 3/4" hole punch

SaraMac, this is beautiful! I love your idea of turning the Mat Stack 3 sideways...brilliant! And the colors are great. What a beautiful card :)

This is such a beautiful and inspiring card. I love how you turned mat stack 3 sideways. Why haven't I ever thought of that? I have turned it upside down, but never sideways. Also, your colors are fabulous.
