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:

Spellbinders:  Birds, Labels 18
