Isaiah 30:15

This week at Joan's Gardens we are challenged to make a card with fall colors, leaves, and a bird and/or a tree.

I was at Hobby Lobby yesterday and they were having a sale on Fall goodies, so I saw these beautiful leaves and this great burlap that was on a 6" ribbon roll. You know how a cardmaker's mind starts to work when these things come into view!

Starting out with ivory cardstock, I cut the burlap to fit the card and glued it down; then the leaves were added with a three-looped raffia ribbon. The sentiment is printed out from my computer and is framed with a Spellbinder's die cut; I inked the edges with some orange ink to add some more brightness to the card. The bird is also from Spellbinders. The tiny butterflies are from a Fiskars punch and the larger brown butterfly is from Martha Stewart. All butterflies are coated with yellow gold glitter glue.

Here is the card:

Romans 10:9-11
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. NLT
