He Restores My Soul


Good afternoon!!  Hope you really are doing fine on this glorious day.  I have a quick card to share and am working on some other things so I’m afraid this will be a short blurb.  It is a simple card and the more I look at the more it looks like a variation of yesterday.  Oh well, I think when I sat down, I had a lot on my mind – a yucky headache.  Just comforting to make my hands go through the movements sometimes . . . no worries.  I’m using one of the new releases from Our Daily Bread Designs called Porch – I love that vignette.


I used Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two as a decorative frill on the back of Spellbinders Labels Fourteen and topped it with Spellbinders Lacey Ovals.  As a crosswise element I added Spellbinders Jumbo Scalloped Border Petites and an element from Spellbinders Banner Basics One.  A little seam binding and pearls and I’m done :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Porch
Paper: K & Co., Coredinations,  Bazzill
Ink: Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink, Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two, Spellbinders Labels Fourteen, Spellbinders Lacey Ovals, Spellbinders Jumbo Scalloped Border Petites, Spellbinders Banner Basics One, pearls, seam binding, felt heart ($1 Bin Michaels)

Smooches, you all are fab!  See ya tomorrow!

    What a beautiful card. Love the color combo’s – the pearl placements around the lacy oval, but I especially love how you stamped the wicker porch furniture stamp as kind of like a background, with the sentiment prominent over top. I love layering – whether it’s paper, or embellishments. I don’t know why I don’t layer stamps much. This gives me the incentive to experiment with that!. As always – thank you Becca for inspiring me once again.

    Take care!ReplyCancel

    This is a gorgeous card, Becca! I love these colors. They are some of my favorites. I really am impressed with how you seem to know just what to layer. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Becca,
    What a beautiful card! You never cease to amaze me with the layers of paper and what you create with it. The embellishments add so much to the design. Thank you for sharing your creative thought process with us!ReplyCancel

    Beautiful card. You do wonderful work. Take care of that headache!ReplyCancel

  • Francie (Montreal)May 10, 2011 - 2:58 pm

    Sorry to hear about your headache. Hope it’s over quickly.

    I really like this one too. On first look, it’s another strong, handsome card. On a second peek, all the little touches become apparent. They don’t dominate but add buckets of charm to the overall look. Very very nice.

    Please go take whatever it is you take, aspirin, ibuprofen, or that other one that I can’t pronounce, nor spell. I hope you’ll feel like yourself very soon.ReplyCancel

    Super card, I love the layering of the background & sentiment stamps. Another inspiration card.
    I get migraines too & understand going though the motions even while having a headache. It is sometimes a good distraction from the pain. Hope you feel better soon.

    Gorgeous layout Becca. I can not believe you come up with so many creative ideas. I love this new set by ODB myself..ReplyCancel

  • Theresa BonettiMay 11, 2011 - 12:27 am

    Hi Becca, Hopefully your headache was short lived today and you were feeling better before long… Very nice card. I like the verse stamped over the porch image and the stitching around the edge. I’ve not stitched paper yet. I’m thinking the beginning/ending stitches are hidden under the embellishments? Anyone have any tips or tricks you’d like to share? Blessings..ReplyCancel

  • Susie SugarMay 11, 2011 - 3:00 am

    Becca, You probably answered this before, but how do you add the pearls. I have loads from my Mom and I would love to add them to cards. (some from your inspiration). Do you use those glue dots? I have those too. Thanks. The card does look nice.ReplyCancel
