Oh my goodness, to start out, I should probably make a clarification!! 

So many people protectively responded to my last post – perhaps thinking I was injured by the person who unsubscribed due to my too many posts.  Well there’s probably a little bit of truth in that but honestly it was more of my bizarre sense of humor than anything.  I chuckled when the unsub notice came across because I know better than anyone that I could post more!!   At any rate, I don’t take these things personally – there are a lot of subscribers out there and a normal day sees at least two or three unsubs but it is always pleasantly balanced out by two or three new subs!!  Here is the point that I was trying to make though…you readers are the most important element of my blog!  I never imagined I would have 1 reader, let alone the many that come back each day.  I want to make sure the content here is exciting and current.  I know that I can’t please everyone, but I am always open to hearing what you would like to see and I hope you would send me a note with that information, even if it’s on your way out.

Okay, now on to today’s card.  Flourishes has truly elegant stamps and sentiments for every occasion.  A dear, dear friend of mine lost her mother (second sad event this week) so again I wanted to come up with a handmade sympathy card to let her know that I was thinking of her and there was a perfect Flourishes set to fit the bill. 

 

I had to fight a little bit not to make this as somber, but there is a fine line…I had topaz jewels on the flower that I switched out for pearls.  Don’t ask me why…the bling just didn’t feel right.  Anyways, the sentiment that so perfectly fit this situation is from the Flourishes Thinking of You Set.  The flower and leaves were constructed from Spellbinders Floral Accent  for the flower and Spellbinders Sunflower Set One for the leaves.  For texture and interest, before cutting the leaves I stamped them with Flourishes Damask Background!   The sentiment is stamped onto Spellbinders Tag 5 then I added satin ribbon for a little elegant flair and pearls to keep the same tone. 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Flourishes; Damask Background, Thinking of You
Paper:  Bazzill, NRN Design Paper
Ink:  Peel Paint Distress Ink, Scattered Straw Distress Ink
Accessories:  Spellbinders Floral Accents, Spellbinders Sunflower Set One, Spellbinders Tags 5, Ribbon, Pearls

I love all you do and love it that I get a post from you everyday once for sure or maybe more, that way I never miss a thing!

  • Jill HaddadJanuary 23, 2009 - 6:40 am

    I know what you mean about the bling on a sympathy card. When I see bling I think of excitement, joy, parties, etc. Pearls on the other hand are quiet elegance – soft, demure. I think they were the perfect choice. Your card, as usual, is beautiful.ReplyCancel

    And keep posting to your blog as often as you like! It is a highlight to my day!! Your projects are so inspiring and the true beauty of your soul shines in your work. There will always be people who try and throw a “snare” it your path, but we are made stronger when we keep our eyes on God and do His will!

    Becca,
    I’m one of your newer subscribers – I can tell you that I have been enjoying all the posts – it gives me something to look forward to because I work from home, so my e-mail and IM and Blogs are like my “co-workers” chatting with me. It’s nice to hear from someone other than the dog :D

    Your sympathy card is so beautiful. I am sure that your friend and their family will appreciate it. I love it’s elegance and thoughtfulness.

    I’m betting that if you changed the sentiment and used some different colors this would also make a smashing birthday or Mother’s day card!
    I love cards that can fit a variety of different themes.
    Would you consider showing us a step by step tutorial on how you made this one?

    I think you are doing a wonderful job! And I don’t mind if you wanna try to “talk my ear off” on your blog :D

    Hi Becca, Your sympathy card is outstanding as usual….but you have already heard that 57 times. I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate how easy you have made it to leave a comment on your blog. The comments are already numbered so we don’t have to fiddle around trying to figure that out when entering for blog candy. We don’t have to turn our computer monitors sideways and upside down trying to figure out some silly number and letter code that often appears to be in a foreign language, and smeared with Vaseline with lines running through it. lol…. And we don’t have to choose between five or six different choices of ways to leave a comment….. And, our comments show up right away!! I love it!! Thanks!! LindaReplyCancel

  • CarolenJanuary 23, 2009 - 3:04 pm

    I know that you don’t want this point belaboured, but I must disagree STRONGLY with you! Your cards should be completely about what you want to explore and do. And WE should just be incredibly thankful for whatever that is! Further, we should be appreciative of any postings – and I am certain that almost everyone is.

    You could never post too many for me, but I have much gratitude for every posting – frequency is irrelevant. It is your life – to enjoy, explore, savour and find BALANCE in.

    And, while I truly don’t want to offend any other bloggers (I appreciate the efforts of everyone that I subscribe to or visit) yours is my favourite blog (one other does come close). You are amazing!!!

    Hi Becca, Way behind on blog reading again, so I have not reached the controversial one unsubscribe, but obviously that person isn’t your typical blog follower, because you do not send too many posts. Every one of your posts is a gorgeous piece of art that I always stop to look at. This is not true of many others that I subscribe to. You are one of my favorites and I hope you wouldn’t even begin to change a thing based on one individual. It sounds like you don’t and that is the right attitude! Now for this card — yet another thing of beauty. I see your point with the pearls over the topaz.

My card today uses the sentiment from another of the newly released sets from Our Daily Bread Designs called He Is Risen.   I pulled the beautiful filigree crosses from this set.  The crosses are mounted on deckled edged cuts from Spellbinders Small Deckled Rectangles and they fit perfectly on Spellbinders Classic Rectangles, Large.  Each cross is smudged with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink and embellished with a single crystal.  To balance off the upper cross trio I cut one Spellbinders Label Four Die,  outlining the inner rim with a fine line marker and smudging with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.  Pretty simple to put together and of course the scripture is a beautiful one.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs; He is Risen, Cross of Christ
Paper:  Prima, Bazzill
Ink:  Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink
Accessories:  Spellbinders Label Four Die, Spellbinders Small Deckled Rectangles, Spellbinders Classic Rectangles Large, Satin Ribbon, Crystals, Martha Stewart Edge Punch

A special thank you for my readers who are always so sweet!  There is much to come so I encourage you to continue to visit each day.  I did lose a reader today because I post too much – I always, always welcome your individual comments if there is something you feel I can do better.

The bottom line is that you can’t please everybody all the time. The good thing is that you have a huge following that can’t wait to check your site to see what you’ve created for the day.

    Becca,

    I have been following your creations for approximately four months; I was so excited when I first saw your beautiful classic designs I couldn’t wait until the next day to see what you revealed.

    I don’t usually post any comments however; as I have been inspired day after day, week after week, and month after month by your consistently outstanding creativity. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your work and labor of love, and that I feel I’ve stepped up a notch in my cardmaking endeavors in part because of you.

    Your cards are a total delight for my eyes…I enjoy the color combinations, layouts, and overall designs. Awesome! I, also, wanted to let you know how much I enjoy the Amazing Quotes and the Tutorial sections.

    Thanks for sharing some of the gifts our Heavenly Father has given you.

    Now, onto how I feel about some people…. There will always be someone who visits your blog who doesn’t like it for one thing or another and they are the ones who just like to blog hop and click their mouses fast just to get your card for that day. They just want the design & then on to the next. What they don’t know is just how much they are missing if they don’t read your complete post for that day. So, I say move forward and like you stated…There are many others taking her place. Please keep up the great blogging! You amaze me with your beautiful cards!!!ReplyCancel

    Dear Becca
    I would just like to offer my WOWWWWWWW for such a brilliant website.
    Your work is absolutely stunning. You are one very talented lady.
    Where do you get all your ideas and inspiration, and how do you know what colours go with what.
    I would also like to know what pens you use to colour the inside of the nestabilities. I have tried my copic ciao, sakura glitter, sakura glaze and my marvy le plume II pens without success, and how did you get that fine thin line on labels four, i live by faith. is it possible to do a tutorial?

    Keep up the excellent work, i always look forward to browsing your site to see what marvel you have created.

    Hello!

    I love your website and the creative artwork you do with your cardmaking. I get your regular updates and always enjoy receiving them.

    I have been looking on Our Daily Bread Designs for the stamp set that features the stamp for the card you have on your blog today which you listed as “I am the Way” but have not been able to find it. Is that the name of the stamp set? Or just the beginning of the verse on the stamp? Thank you for your help.

    CandiReplyCancel

  • SusanJanuary 26, 2009 - 2:29 pm

    I hope this is the right spot – Your bows are fantastic. What’s the big difference between copics and any other marker? I am also having a heck of a time using the new clear stamps. Do you have to do anything to them before the first use? Thanks for all your help.

In addition, any chance of a tutorial on the frameabilities that you used on today’s card? Any trick to it or just use like any other Nestabilities? I too would like to see the answers to some of the other questions if it’s possible. Thank you so much.

    Becca, how do you cut the large frame out of the Spellbinder Frameabilities Decorative Frames?
    When I purchased this I imagined that the die cut both frames out but this is not the case.
    I have bad arthritis in my hands & using scissors is very painful so I thought this Spellbinders set was just what I needed. Hope you can help my poor fat fingers :-))ReplyCancel

I did have success with one but I ran it through the wizard 4 times, used brand new master plates, added shims, took out shims, turned the die several times, and still not much luck. Any tips would be appreciated. I have the purple wizard and have been using it for years.

    thanks muchReplyCancel

    Becca,
    A while back I started right at the beginning of your archives and I am slowly getting through them and enjoying all of them, learning much. I have notes alllllllll over my desk. I have started making a list of all your tutorials/videos and the dates. My suggestion is would you make a list on your sidebar of all your tutorials and videos so that when we click on the one we need we can find it right away???? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
    Thank you for alllllllllll that you have done. Your cards are always beautiful. I get dizzy just trying to remember some of them so I can go down to my “studio” and use some of your ideas.
