Praying Hands

This is my first post on Scraps of Color E:spire and I am very grateful for the opportunity to be part of the creative team.

The moment I saw this stamp, it was a must have for me.  It's great for making handmade cards for the sick and shut-in at my church or for anyone needing encouragement.  I used two techniques on this card, heat embossing and watercoloring.  I only embossed the praying hands and used dimensionals on each layer of the card for depth.  I watercolored the hands and the surrounding area of the watercolor paper.

Below is the list of supplies (with item numbers) used to make this card (all from Stampin' Up!).
