I’m indeed praying your day is filled with joy . . . I know that mine is. It’s an added bonus that spring is on the way!! I wanted to share a quick card with you that uses one of the March releases from Our Daily Bread Designs. The set I used is called Easter Blessings and has this gorgeous Lilly of the Valley that I colored with Copic Markers. On top of my cut design paper I added Spellbinders™ Jumbo Borderabilities® Petite and topped that with a Martha Stewart Border Punch. Then for the focal image, after I colored with Copic Markers and distressed with Antique Linen Distress Ink, I cut it from Spellbinders™ Labels Eleven, raised it on Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG and embellished it with one of the companion pieces from Spellbinders™ Lattice Pendants.
My friends won’t believe this, but this was a quickie made from scraps. No, you don’t understand . . . I could easily spend more than an hour just picking the paper. My DD is spending time with me this evening so this was a "git ‘er done" kind of card. Here are the copics I used:
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Easter Blessings
Paper: The Paper Company, Bazzill, K & Co.
Ink: Blue Dye Based Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Jumbo Borderabilities® Petite, Spellbinders™ Labels Eleven, Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG, Spellbinders™ Lattice Pendants, Martha Stewart Border Punch, Pearls, Ribbon

I have a million things that I’m dabbling in and heaven help me I went into the quilt store today – you’ll see. For the past couple of nights I’ve also hit up some of my "go to" sites that had fonts, brushes and digital paper on sale (another addiction that I’ll explain later). ScrapnFonts.com had an excellent St. Patty’s Day Sale everything being $1.00 (that doesn’t happen often) and their sister site LetteringDelights.com had a similar sale – the neat thing that I didn’t know about the latter site is they now tell you everything you own so that you don’t buy it again. Gosh, I think they had me in mind because I have quite a collection from them and have purchased a couple of things twice. The other thing is I’m obsessed with flowers and have picked up quite a few supplies to make my own — you’ll see, you’ll see! But I digress, more on these things later!!
Oops I almost forgot to share . . we have a winner for the JustRite Blog Candy!!

Hi Becca ~ God has definitely blessed you with an incredible talent and it’s wonderful that you share it with all of us! I also love that you’re a child of God, as I am, and are willing to share that you are and God’s Word with others!
My dream set for JustRite Stamps is actually something I emailed to them back in January…I would like to see a set that is more generic for gift-giving with wording such as “For You” and/or other similar wording (”Especially For You”, “Just For You”). I use these for the packaging I do when I make and sell handmade gifts. I would also like to see it designed for more than just women and girls. I need these for children (different ages) – especially for boys – and for men. I haven’t seen a lot of attractive masculine stamps at the different stamp companies. I like a lot of different styles and this could be done a lot of different ways, but I can definitely see it in a classy, old-fashion style, for example, antique toys for children. I hope this information helps! ~ Kathy
Kathy please reach out to me through my contact page to accept and give me your address and we’ll get your goodies on the way!
Whew, that was a long post! Cheerio – see you tomorrow!
Becca –
Such a lovely card! I think I am in love with that Penny Black stamp too! You have just done a tremendous job on this piece. Thank you for sharing with us.

Good morning Becca,

Wonderful and sooo very cool! Neat color set…
Becca, do you do a lot of experimenting to discover these wonderful treatments or have you had some kind of training that allows the ideas to come to you? I think it’s fascinating that you embossed and then changed the color of the embossing…and what a beautiful outcome! Your layouts are always terrific. TFS
Becca,
Very pretty.
~~Diane~~
Absolutely gorgeous!
Another stunning card. You are amazing. Love the color and pattern paper combination. I look forward to visiting your site every chance that I get. Keep up the creativity.
This is beautiful Becca. Beautiful colors chosen, and that is some gorgeous DP. As always thanks for sharing your work with us. You really inspire us. If a card could be sexy than this is one of them. TFS!!! :-D
I don’t do dp much on my cards but do make my own with stamps (loving the looks w/so many I’ve seen in galleries, though). You’re idea of the white embossed and then inked is great. I will remember that tip. Another wonderful card!
Great card! I love the colours you chose. So rich and vintagey looking. Thanks for sharing! :o)
