Every once in a while we release a new stamp set without making a big fuss about it....just a random "surprise" to keep things fun. That was the case for this new set called Away in a Manger which was just added to the store yesterday. I love the detail of the image in this set. It was illustrated by Rachel Zimmerman. She is a local Mennonite woman and her work has such a wholesome feel to it :). As she might say, a "plain people" style.
In honor of this "secret" release I thought it would be fun to make a card with the set so I went to SCS to see what today's challenge was and decided to play along. The challenge is to use something "recycled" on your card. I had to think about that one a bit but then it came to me.....When I am making display boards for our shows I can only use card fronts, so I often cut the backs off of whole cards I want to display. I always save the card backs for future cards like this one. The brown cardstock I used for layering is from a card back.
I didn't want to take from the beautiful image, so I kept this card very simple. I hope you like it. I think it's message is quite clear :).
Thanks for stopping by today! If you are in the path of Hurricane Irene, you are in my prayers!! May God keep you safe from harm's way!

This is beautiful and I too love how you put the Scripture below the image. The kraft cardstock gives a warmth to the card.
