When I am making display boards for our shows I can only use card fronts, so I often cut the backs off of the cards. I always save the card backs for future cards like this one. The brown cardstock is from a card back.
The image and sentiments are from a new stamp set called Away in a Manger. I love the detail in this image illustrated by Rachel Zimmerman. She is a local Mennonite woman and her work has such a wholesome feel to it . I didn't want o take from the beautiful image, so I kept this card very simple.
Thanks for looking!

Korin, you did a perfect job bringng the simplicity, and as you put it "wholesomeness" of this image into focus with the kraft bg and wonderful natural color scheme - I would have tried to do too much and messed it up - a very meaningful card!
