RUSTIC Hello there: "The Grace With Which You Handle This Journey Is Incredible" Encouragement card

A2 or 5.5 x 4 1/4 size card.

Used Unitystampco.com KOM (kit of the month) from Feb 2024. This is one of their signature cook to order detailed red rubber stamp sets. Love their sentiments! (Some of the back months are available on sale if you are a monthly subscriber, and at a slightly higher price if not. But any wood background stamp would work if it's the size you need. This card was A2 us or 5.5 x 4.1/4).

This cards greeting is: "The Grace with which you handle this journey is nothing short of beautiful". It would be good for cancer survivors or those with terminal illness or even pneumonia or sickness, like a get-well card. Not everything about the journey is beautiful, but it can help to focus on those aspect that are beautiful, such as the grace and dignity with which people meet their challenges. I hope that cards like this encourage the recipient.

There is a woodgrain stamp at unitystampco that is called Artistic Pallet, another wood grain stamp is called Barn Wall. I think either would work. Just decide if you want the wooden plank look to be vertical or horizontal. I used the link on the blog myself but if it was a membership link so it would change eveey month. https://www.unitystampco.com/artistic-pallet-bom-2-24/

So the three stamps came from Unitystampco, one called Barn Wood I believe, the other I named above. The arch die is from Unistystampco dot com. An oval die could be used instead of the Arch, an oval die from My Favorite Things, it has single fake stitching along the edges. And copic markers were numbered E23,E35, E43, E31, E21, Yellow Y02, YG13, BG45, BG15, B0000. These are the markers i used to color in the cup and flowers.

I used colored pencils in salmon and brown to pencil over the lighter panels of the stamp Barn Wall or Artistic Pallet in the background.

The instructions for making this card on on the Unity blog and it's called "combining-woodgrain-and-florals-uplifting-card. https://blog.unitystampco.com/2024/02/combining-woodgrain-and-florals-uplifting-card/ The reason i bring this up is there is a how-to video at that url as well as written instructions and supply list and it's what inspired me to make this card.

The white cardstock is Neenah solar white. The die is from Unitystampco and is called Scallops and Arches nesting die.
The oval die from My Favorite Things is one I also have that could be used instead.

Let me know if you make this card or use this sentiment!
Happy cardmaking!
