Cards for a cause

I have begun donating some of my cards to my local church' op shop. Op shop means opportunity, opportunity to buy things cheap from. It's a shop operated and owned by a charity, in this case, my local church. I do cards for this shop regularly and consider it a ministry now. My way of giving back for the talent God has bestowed on me. I regularly paint and practice anyway and I have so many cards already. It started after I facilitated one of the tables in our church' card-making event. I was asked to teach basic card painting. The church bought cardstocks and a set of water color paints. I supplied some of the brushes and palettes. All the cards we made sold in the op shop but there were still boxes of left over cardstocks so I volunteered to make cards for the shop as long as they provide the paper and the paint. 

It's a way of getting your paintings out there but also for a cause so you strike two birds with one stone. So here's a few I've done.
