You're Invited w/Stamp Simply

Did you know that most people who don't attend church often say that they'd welcome the opportunity to do so?  It's true.  Many people either weren't raised with church/religion in their lives, have possibly relocated and not found "the right church" yet, or simply don't have a church home.  This is one reason why I like to carry around invitations to church.  I can give them to people I meet, and I'll tell you that most people are very receptive and welcoming to it.  This card that I created for Stamp Simply is for someone that I continue to pray for and invite to church.  I do it because I know this person needs Jesus and the sweet fellowship of other believers in Christ.

I used a kraft cardstock base and I layered it with a green patterned paper from the Craft Concortium's Beach Hut 6x6 Paper Pad.  I also tore some small scraps of vintage sheet music that I have peeking out of the top and bottom of my card.  The other patterned paper is found in the Carta Bella Gather at Home 6x6 Paper Pad.  I crumpled and tore this paper just a bit to reveal the sheet music.  I did just a small bit of machine stitching on the papers.

I used the Fall/Winter Seasonal Wreath Stamp Set to stamp the sweet wreath.  I cut it with the coordinating Fall/Winter Wreath Dies.  I stamped the lovely church image using the My Church Stamp Set, and I cut that with the coordinating Country Church Dies.  I colored the church with my Copic markers and attached both to my card base.  The sentiment is also found in the My Church Stamp Set, and I fussy cut around the sentiment and raised it with White 3-D Foam Tabs.  I think that pretty much covers everything I used.
