Crafters of Faith: John 7:38!

Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water

 will flow from within them."

 ~ John 7:38

Hello, blogging friends! 

It's the 31st of the month and that means the Crafters of Faith group post our cards! The Crafters of Faith is a group near and dear to my heart - founded by me!  - after soul-searching and longing to get closer to christian women whom have united in faith and creative crafting :) 

 They are such sweet, sweet ladies!

This month, our hostess has taken some time off and so I took her place as hostess.  This is my challenge: Water!

Hi Faith sisters! This month’s Crafter’s of Faith challenge theme is inspired this verse and your theme is: Water ! It’s summer and many of us are enjoying the splendors of the outdoors – boating, swimming, walking along the lakes and rivers. Summer rains, as heavy and burdening as they can sometimes be, bring us new growth all around ~ trees, green grass and gorgeous flowers blooming. Even spiritually, many people accept Jesus into their hearts and become baptized in water and have beach baptisms. Water is a beautiful, healing, essential! This month, I want you to use WATER as your theme on your cards: Be as creative as you like - think boats, oceans, the beach, tilted watering cans, bird baths, falling rain, etc! Let water be the focus of your card and extra brownie points for using the color BLUE !! Blessings! 

For my card, I stamped up the ever so lovely "The Mighty Sea"

and used the coordinating sentiment.  I stamped this image

soooo many times!  I colored it, and colored it some more :)

In the end, I stamped it in Crumb Cake for a softer look

and paired it with some fresher/beachy colors in peach, brown, blue and sand.  Some ribbon, buttons, twine and brads and this card was finished in a snap :)

Here's the front of my card:

And the inside:

Please stop by and see my crafty Sisters in Christ,

Smiles to you this day!

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings
