For my card I’m using one of the new Our Daily Bread Designs sets called Don’t Worry. There are lots of new sets – you can check them out HERE. I’m using one of my favorite new Spellbinder die templates called Nested Hearts. I simply interlocked four of the hearts after stenciling and distressing them with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I perched a pearl in the center then put foam tape under one hump of the heart so that the edge would slope up and the entire card would have some dimension. I found a curved pearl motif in my Zva Creative Pearl collection and applied it to three of the four hearts keeping one heart free for my sentiment.

Speaking of which – you are using one of my favorites on this card. Love the new nested hearts and how you have used it. You are just so creative. Lovely card as always. I always look forward to the first of the month and this blog hop.

So beautiful with all of your special details! A very special card. Love the sentiment!
Becca,
This is awesome!!!!!! YOU never cease to amaze me with your creativity. You are my hero
Oh!! What a lovely card.
Stunning! At first I thought “Where’s the new set?” but see what you did and really like the idea of the interlocking hearts with the pearls. I’d just gotten the Spellbinders nested hearts so thanks for the idea.
Well, Becca, you’ve outdone yourself again!! I sound like a broken record because I say it everytime! Lovely, lovely lovely!
What an amazingly beautiful creation! I cant wait to receive my nested hearts and tackle this one. Thanks for the inspiration!
Fabulous! Love the way you put the heart shapes together in a pinwheel design! You are so creative!
Absolutely breathtaking! Becca, I love how you’ve arranged the hearts!
Wow Gorgeous card !!. What you did with the nested hearts is truly amazing . Except for Labels, I always wait to see what you do with the new Spellbinder dies before I buy them. Each release there are some dies ( like this set) that I have no interest in buying. Then I see how you used them and of course I have to have them LOL
What a cool way to use that die, and the added distressing!! Wow! This is an elegant pinwheel! I’m loving the new releases from ODBD too, and look forward to these fun hops!! I’m glad it’s quick and easy this month, I need to be packing for a trip! : )
Becca, your cards always make my jaw drop, and this one is no exception. Gorgeous card, and I love your distressing. Now I KNOW I want this die set!
Very pretty card. The colors are so sweet. And I love Corrie ten Boom.
