Casing Pinterest - Prayers & Pattern Paper

Hello Lovely.  I hope you had a fantastic long weekend.  I, unfortunately, I got sick.  I have a head cold...the first and hopefully the only one of the season.  The joys of working in a school environment.  Anywho... I've been in a bit of a rut with a lot of ink blending and tags stitching.  I break ruts by Casing Pinterest.  I have a board - It's All in the Cards where I drop card ideas that inspire me and I turn to this board when I get in a rut or need an idea for the perfect card.

The inspiration for these cards came from one I've had pinned for a while from the lovely Laura Bassen.  I love Laura's clean and simple style.  Her card had a hand stamped plaid background and she did some partial die cutting and stamping with the word prayers.

For my cards, I opted for some pattern paper, as I'm trying to shop my stash and use some of the hoards of pattern paper I have.  I also die cut the word "prayers" from black cardstock and layered it partially onto the white sentiment strip that I popped up with foam tape.  I also switched up the sentiments I stamped with the prayers.  I used one 6x6-inch piece of paper and got two cards.  Love it when I can stretch papers and get a twofer.

Thanks for swinging by today.  I'll be making more of these cards from my pattern paper stash.  I hope you're inspired to shop your stash and make those card ideas you've been hoarding on your pinboards.
