I forgot to retake the picture ... this one was taken in the evening in poor lighting, so looks a bit blue and washed out. It actually turned out really well. I stamped the background image in gray, then stamped the scripture. I then put an oval mask over the verse, and restamped the background in black, and chalked it in.
Our Daily Bread Designs has an "Anything Goes with Scripture" challenge going right now. They have lovely designs that work well on layerless cards, so for my husband's friend, I'm going to submit this and maybe another card or two in hopes of winning a $15 gift certificate that will go toward making the next card for him!
I hope this will inspire anyone who has a friend or relative in jail to get creative and be a blessing to someone who could truly use one!

This is gorgeous, Sarah. I love the gorgeous blue background. It looks like the sky, and it's the perfect compliment to the verse. I love your crafting style, and look forward to seeing more of your art. I would like to invite you to share your sweet cards with us at Word Art Wednesday.
