My card is made with a stamp
set from Stampin’ Up’s Sale-a-Bration going on now until March 31, 2015.
It is called Butterfly Basics. I’ve also used the Butterflies Thinlits
Dies. For this card I made my own background using stamps in the
set. The inks I used are Palette Jardin Moss, Boudoir Blush, and Raw
Sienna. I just stamped them randomly over the card. The base card
is green cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Palette Noir ink and
matted it in the green cardstock. A green ribbon was placed under the
sentiment, which is popped up with foam mounting tape. Lastly, I added
two butterfly die cuts, one cut from the green cardstock and one from a
multicolor dotted cardstock.
I love the sentiment with
this set. It reminds me of some spiritual truths. We all are
sinners in depravity before God saves us and makes all things new. 2
Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new
creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” Our
lives are completely transformed by Christ, just like the caterpillar is
transformed into a beautiful butterfly. As we look at people in our lives
who seem to be caterpillars who do not have spiritual life and vitality, we
cannot know what God plans for them. We must love them and share the good
news of salvation with them. Perhaps they too can be transformed into
something beautiful by His love and grace.
Have a blessed day! And thanks for visiting my blog.
