We are building a new church and I was asked to make some thank you cards that will go out both to the hired crew and the volunteer crew. This is one of the designs I came up with. It was my first time using the "sanded" bg which Lynn aka Allee's was a big part of "enabling" me to get after I saw her use it so beautifully in her gallery.

Gorgeous card Michele! Love ODBD images. Love that punched border too - it's one of my faves - and one I have in my collection so I can keep my punch envy in check on this trip to your gallery! I love the Sanded bg - must remember to use it more often because it's so great on 'guy' cards. Beautifully done - good luck on your church building project...

This image is powerful. Just leaves goosebumps. Love your combination of stamps. Blessings to your new church. I know everyone who receives this will be blessed in numerous ways, but most especially by the One they have glorified.

My, my, this is just amazing. It does look rugged and great for masculine cards. Such a wonderful card for those workers at your church.
