Hi there friends, I have a card to share today. Yesterday my sister and I were talking about weddings so as I sat down to create I decided I wanted to do something dressy that could be used to celebrate a marriage or anniversary. As I perused my stash of new JustRite Stampers stamps, my eyes landed immediately on the JustRite Cherish the Memories Nested Sentiments and Verse — to me this says it all!! You must check out the other sentiments that go with the set – you can see them HERE.
I always reach for metallic gold, it’s definitely my preference but I’m also pleasantly surprised when I see silver used. I dressed it up by making a bottom panel using Spellbinders Curved Rectangles. On top of that layer I added Spellbinders Mega Ovals LG #5, Spellbinders Petite Ovals LG #5 and #2 and Spellbinders Petite Ovals SM #3. On the edge I used Spellbinders Fancy Tags.
To keep the white ovals in the silver theme, while the ovals were still in their die template, I traced around them with a silver pen. I love doing that – if only I could remember to do it more often :-) As a final touch I added ribbon and a Zva pearl ensemble.

Becca – thanks for showing this in silver – so very pretty!
Breathtaking, Becca!
Becca, the detail and embellishments on your card are all so elegant! Love the line drawn around the words with the pen detail. Nice finishing touch!
Thanks for sharing! :o)
Stunning! When/if I ever find the right guy, would you please send me that card? This is the first time I’ve ever considered asking to have a card but this one takes my breath away.
I love using silver on a card but all my cards seem so blah compared to this inspiring creation. Another winner, Becca.

Beautiful Becca. Very elegant, Simply Beautiful!
Absolutely magnificant. You are so talented.
What a beautiful card love the colors that you use
This is so beautiful!
Hello Becca,
My gosh! You’ve done it, again. I cannot believe how you keep coming up with these terrific cards. I love the silver and the idea of tracing the inside of the die with a pen, before removing the die, is fab.
You are a constant inspiration, to me ….. to all of us. I cannot say enough about how much your work (talent) is enjoy and ‘reslished’. Thank you.

Oh Becca – this is stunning. The design and colours are so right. Just today I was asked if I could make a wedding card for my DIL’s friend – if you have no objections I will be casing your blog for inspiration. Many thanks for sharing your talent.

Beautiful card Becca. I love this sentiment stamp set too! Wish I had it but I don’t . . . . not yet anyway. Can’t wait to see your Spellbinder Blog Frenzy creations. I am sure you are going to wow us as usual. Sure like what I have seen thus far. I figured that was the behind the scene stuff that you have been working on.

love the cards and ornaments. thanks Pauline
I know I’m really late with this comment, but I’ve just seen this in my backtracking on all that I missed this summer. I’m wondering what you used to stamp the sentiment and make it look silver. I see that you used versamark for ink, but is it silver embossed or do they make a versamark ink that is silver? Love this card, it is gorgeous, and the ribbon lacing is perfect. I have just celebrated my 25th (silver) anniversary, and love anything I see in silver. Beautiful card!!
