All Christmas cards are mailed and delivered; time to move on to a different mode in today's post.
Where I live, spring comes early. At the beginning of February we start planning for flowers and what we will plant in our veggie gardens. This was not so when we lived farther north, so I am grateful for early springs.
Today's card is done in pastels with flowers, a bow and a butterfly--a sure sign that warmer weather is just around the corner.
Starting out with white CS, I punched out several leaf borders in different colors with a Fiskars leaf punch, and layered them vertically. With an EK Success punch, the flowers were made in a double layer with a tiny colored brad in the center of each one. They were cut from some sparkly multicolored cardstock I had in my stash. A Cheery Lynn Mini Fanciful Flourish was tucked underneath the flowers. The green cardstock it was cut from was not dark enough to show enough contrast, so it is dabbed with some darker green ink. The sentiment was printed from my computer and cut with a rounded corner punch; a pink and white gingham bow was added at the top. The butterfly is punched from an EK Success punch that has three different layers; gold sparkly glitter glue was added to accentuate it.
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
