Good golly!!! I have another sneak peek for you. I don’t always do sneak peeks but I hope you’ll indulge me on this one. This started out a totally different card, different company, different feel. Once I got the focal panel done there was no way to fit the sentiment I wanted because of the way the border needed to fit. This new Our Daily Bread Designs set has been sitting on my desk as I work on the June releases and look . . . this scripture sentiment fits perfectly!!! I should tell you that this set will be one of my favorites. There are a handful of ODBD sets that I use so much that I gave up on putting them away and they reside permanently on the edge of my work table. This will be one of those sets; it is called Scripture Series 1 and you will be able to see it in its full glory on June 1st.
I know you will ask :) so I’ll try to preempt a couple of questions here. The card is 5.5" x 7.5". The focal panel is made with Spellbinders and Martha Stewart Rain Drop border and corner punches. The bottom layer is punched and I began with a piece of paper that was 3.75" x 4.75" and the corners are rounded with a corner punch. The next layer up is Spellbinders™ Big Scalloped Rectangles Large. The next layer is the same set of punches and I began with a piece of paper that was 2.75" x 3.75". This is one of the punches that works with the "fudging" technique I showed you HERE. I topped the next layer with Spellbinders™ Classic Rectangles LG.
Just for pretty embellishment I pulled out one of my new Tim Holtz memo pins and it so nicely holds a little flower cut with Spellbinders™ Flower Bouquet. This is probably TMI but I pulled the little round element from the Spellbinders™ Lotus Pendant set (the tiny element that looks like a chain) and used it behind my flower as a mat – the scallops matched perfectly!!) I tied on a bow with some silky grosgrain and simply stabbed the pin through the knot. Note to self: go find more of those pins. Lol, me thinks you will see them again and soon :)

Getting excited about the long holiday weekend? Yep, me too :-)
Lovely layering as usual and a darling little flower with the pearl on it by the bow.
Beautiful. Will definitly be wanting one of these. Thanks so much for sharing. As soon as I see your name on my 1,000+ emails I jump at the chance to open it because you have got to be one of my favs. You are just so good!
Absolutely gorgeous my friend!!! Your layering is beyond gorgeous!!! LOVE what you do with those punches!!!
Becca, I love the layering …you are awesome!
Very elegant, Becca, and very classy! Love it!
very beautiful…. you never run out of idea. love the layers…thanks for telling us how you did it….
Lovely card! I’ve just got to get out all my various Spellbinders dies and MS punches and start playing and layering!! I’ll probably never be able to come up with unique combinations that look so wonderful, but looking at your lovely creations gives me something to shoot for! Oh… and NO detail is TMI!!! LOL!!! The more details the better in my opinion!
Beautiful as usual. I do love the ODBD scriptures. I am making the little booklet and box for my dad for father’s day. Thanks for the inspiration.
Becca,
Beautiful card as always and the verse was very needful today. Just wrote it down to put where I will see it everyday. I just need to be reminded that God is in control of our situation.
This is gorgeous and love this verse.
Beautiful card Becca. I love the way you layer with the punches and spellbinders. Your cards always look exquisite!! Details make the card!
Hugs. Cheryl
Gorgeous card (as always!), Becca! I enjoy your Becca Bits, too! Love how you get more mileage out of your punches!
Yep, looking forward to the holiday weekend!
This is gorgeous Becca. I bet you were doing the happy dance when you saw that the image fit just perfectly. What a lovely sentiment it is too. I love your use of the punches. You certainly know how to use your punches to your advantage. Even the little flower with the embellishment looks so beautiful. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
I can’t wait for the new ODBD stamps to be released! I really like this sentiment. It and your card design can be used for many people and many occasions.
Becca, I know you are a “Spellbinders Girl”. Me, too, but have you ever considered trying a Cricut machine? They make some beautiful intricate flowers, butterflies, swirls, label shapes and lace backgrounds. PLUS you can make them ANY SIZE you want! Also, someone has invented an embossing tip for the Cricut now! AND, WORD IS…Cricut will be releasing a Martha Stewart cartridge in the near future…hmmm, if that doesn’t get ya, I don’t know what would. Also, if you are worried about a learning curve, there are great local classes and DVD’s out now to help with that! I don’t work for them, I just see that they have lots of stuff that would suit your style.
Have a great day!
I love all the layering. I never think of doing more than 2. What fun!
Amazing Paper Grace! Thanks for sharing your talent with us. You are such an inspiration to me, God bless.
Beautiful as usual! I have NEVER seen a card that you made that I don’t LOVE! Thanks for sharing them with us.
Desert hugs

Lovely card! Great text. Hugs
What a lovely card you have made thanks for all you do.
What a striking card! I love all the punched layers. Thanks for heading us off at the pass with all the details of how you did them. It’s always a joy to stop in and see what you’ve posted for us each day.
TFS!!!!! Just when I think that you could not top yourself. Looking forward to the latest ODB release.
Oh, Becca!!!! Lovely, lovely, lovely indeed!! You have so much creative talent, and you are such a joyful blessing to us all! Thank you so giving so freely of your time and talent. Can’t wait to see the new stamps.
As usual, your card is so beautiful. I look forward everyday to your inspiration for my own card making. When I grow up (I’m 64), I hope I can be half as artistic as you. Thank you
Beautiful card
Becca,
I thought I had lots of toys to play with, but you definitely have me hands down. However, I do not think you are into the cricut die cuts. Why is that ? It really has supprised me that you aren’t. But you are doing great without. I always love your creations. You just amaze me day after day. This card is no exception. Gorgeous as always.
Marcie
LOVE the raindrop border!! I wish I had picked this up when my local scrapbook store had them all at 50% off…it was so hard to choose! Oh well, I will continue oogling your creations instead! ;-)
such fantastic layering and I so love the background paper!
Becca how do i get to your site on bow making. Have a bless day.
