I had planned to make a summer church, but, while looking for a card to use for the base, I found this pretty spring card and decided to make a spring church with it.
Poster board, cut with decorative scissors, make the churchyard fence. The fence posts are made from 1/8″ square, wooden rods.
I painted the stepping stones directly on the base and outlined them with faux moss.
Periwinkle, white and green flowers embellish the churchyard. Yellow vellum covers the windows.. I cut all the window frames by hand.
