Another Christmas card!
Woohoo! Those of us who have been working on these since we last mailed our cards out in December know that slow and steady wins the race when it comes to getting enough Christmas cards done before time to mail them out again. It is so much easier when they build up gradually, than to feel rushed at the last minute. When I feel rushed, not only do I not do a very good job of card making, but all the joy is gone from it because of having the stress of finishing on time.
That's my story and I'm stickin' with it!
So today's card is made from a pretty musical, very wide fabric ribbon found at Joann's. It is the background for the rest of the card. On top of that is a double-looped wire-rimmed red and silver glittered bow, a sentiment by Sweet 'n' Sassy (Jesus Is Born set), die cuts from Spellbinders Deckled Rectangles, and a holly sprig cut from the Teresa Collins December 25th Cricut cartridge. With this cut, I used some paper that I didn't like very much, and after it was cut, it was spray-painted green, then sprayed with silver glitter mist. The berries on the holly are made with Viva Red Liquid Pearls.
Here is the card:
Holly leaves are lightly sprayed with glitter mist:

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
Acts 13:38-39
"Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God—something the law of Moses could never do." NLT
