Plank Heart

StampinUp love card made with the Hearts Framelits, designed by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMomplankheart2

If you’re a card maker where do you get your inspiration?  I took this picture at a church I recently visited.  I really think the plank heart is beautiful in front of the stone wall.  I wish I would’ve cut my planks a little narrower to be more similar to the heart at the church.

I also get inspiration from Sketch challenges and used SSC119 for the colors on this card.  My heart is made with Cherry Cobbler, the brick wall is Sahara Sand sponged with Smokey Slate and layered onto Early Espresso cardstock.

I made this card for a family whose hearts are broken because of the death of their 18 year old son.  I feel so much empathy for them and can’t imagine many things worse than losing your child.  The community can see God’s light shining through this family during this difficult time.  The family attends the church where I took the picture and the heart was there at the time of their son’s death.

Hug your kids today.  Sean, Ryan, Abby and Keegan, Dad and I love you so much!  God loves you too!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Oh Beth!! This is beautiful! I am a heart transplant recipient and I will celebrate my 22nd anniversary this August. Your card brought me to tears, as do most arts that include a heart do. Just breathtaking. I am going to case this for my donor mom.
