My goodness, I’ll seem chatty today. I have some news to share as well as a new release from Our Daily Bread Designs. First for my news, I’ve been invited to join the Magnolia-licious Design Team!! This is a pure indulgence for me as I’ve been smitten with those stamps for quite a while. Unknown to many of you, I like just about every genre of stamp there is. I have quite a bit of artsy, elegant, eclectic and yes, quite a few cute stamps. I’ve been hunting for something to take to the little girls at Sunday School in the way of cards, and these will fit the bill. The ladies on the design team are as sweet as can be and have shown me a warm welcome. I’m jumping in with them today and this week we have a Blog Hop on Friday, June 5th; I hope to see you then!
Now on to my card for today . . . this is one of the magnificent new releases with Our Daily Bread Designs and this particular set is called Ask, Seek, Knock. Be sure to pop on over to ODBD to see the other set that rounds out the June Releases!
If you can’t tell, this Spellbinders Decorative Frame is one of my very favorites, I use it often. This time I decided to change it up by embossing and stenciling on design paper. I know the idea sounds "busy" but I really like the way it frame turned out. The paper is subtle enough to take it. I used the same ink for the frame, the sentiment and the edging on the double stacked Spellbinders Labels Four. After I embellished the frame with topaz bling, I added a hat pin to which I added pearls and swarovski’s.
TIP: I know you will ask so I’ll go ahead and give a little explanation about the border around the Labels. Normally I would do a reverse stenciling technique like I did on THIS post. Because I wanted the ink to be the same as I used with the stenciling and because I was NOT using pigment ink as you need for reverse stenciling, I created a set of masks to use on the Labels dies that expose just the outer edges. I did that by tracing around the insides of the die I was using with a pencil and then cutting out along that outline. Then using repositionable glue I tacked my cut out on top of my die cut and sponged around the edges, removing the mask when finished. It’s a sure fire way to get a different look with your dies.

Stunning card, Becca! I actually prefer the colored border over the reverse stenciling. For some reason it just doesn’t “look right” to me, so I’ve never done it. Thanks for the tip!

I agree with all the above posts. Magnolia-licious is so lucky to have secured the talent of Becca Feeken! Congratulations, Becca! I am a member and fan of the Magnolia’s, so I can’t wait to see how you showcase them. Hurry, Hurry!! Linda S. in NE
Honest to goodness, I just don’t know how you manage to pump out cards on a regular basis, have them all look unlike another, come up with a new way to use stamps and stencils, think outside the box, and come out professional looking like you were born to do this. Does this give enough impact in how amazed I continue to be with your work, Becca?! Good golly Miss Molly, this is one fab card. And thank you for the explanation GF!
Opps, I forgot to say congratulations on your big news. I’m so looking forward to seeing Magnolia cards. I can’t even begin to image what you’ll come up with for those stamps!
Congrats on the new DT!!! You go girl!! This card is splendid and so beautiful! Love the warm colors and that pin is prefect!:)
Congratulations on your new assignment to the DT! More of the world needs to see your creativity and this is certainly one way of getting more of YOU out there :) This card is absolutely stunning! Thank you for the included bonus of the “tip”. I’m gonna try that technique since I have a lot of dye based inks and couldn’t do the reverse with them.
Congrats on becoming a member of the DT!! I love Magnolias and can’t wait to see what you do with them. Your talents are amazing!!
Absolutely stunning and elegant as always Becca!!!! Congrats on your appointment to the Magnolia DT – you will be such a wonderful asset to them!!!
