Sabrina's challenge can be found here. MMTPT890 - August 12, 2025 - Patriotic Encouragement by Cook22 at Splitcoaststampers
Cards are going out to Alexander, a former soldier. I made a collage of things outdoors and the American flag.
I colored on the flag stamp with markers and stamped at the top. Then I added the land in the center with copper clay ink. I added the trees with evening evergreen and the deer was stamped in soft suede.
I stamped a beautiful prayer inside, but I don't know the maker of the stamp. I asked God to lead me to the stamp He wanted inside this card. I knew when I found the right stamp.
Sabrina, thank you for helping us send encouragement to others.

all patriotic symbols: the flag with the heart, Gods trees growing tall and strong, and one of Gods precious animals - the deer - such a peaceful scene.

This card radiates heartfelt intention and reverence. The way you layered the outdoor elements—the trees, deer, and copper-toned land—feels like a quiet tribute to nature’s strength and serenity. That flag with the heart is such a powerful symbol, and your prayerful approach to choosing the sentiment inside adds a deeply personal touch. Alexander will surely feel the love and care woven into every detail.
