Inspired Stamps DT Choice

 Hello everyone it is Thursday and that means more projects showcasing Inspired Stamps images.  This week was a DT choice.  I chose to make a more masculine card to honor Pastors, since October is Pastor Appreciation Month.  I know there is a flower on the card, but it is not very frilly, so I think it works.  I think my Pastor and his wife would appreciate receiving this card.  I hope it inspires you to pull out your supplies and make a special card for your Pastor this month and let him know you appreciate all his hard work.
  

DT choice:  Using Names of Jesus and Christmas verses stamp sets from Inspired Stamps.

Here is the inside of my card: I used John 3:16 from the Christmas verses stamp set.
