Hi there sweet friends. Popping in to let you know that two of the three winners have responded. I’ll have a further update for you tomorrow. In the meantime, after all my errands today I got the inspiration for a card. I was thinking petticoats, lol. Can’t you tell? Seriously, this is my favorite, favorite, favorite lace. I indulged last year after I saw this in the Prima booth at CHA. No worries, it won’t go to waste – I sew too so this may end up on the bottom of a jean jacket or something. It was my starting point on this card and then I thought it an excellent place to showcase one of the new background stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs – the Fish Background. It’s very subtle here because it’s stamped over top of my striped design paper – I heat embossed it with ivory embossing powder. Then I stamped half of the sentiment from the Anchor set and behind it, very faintly, you can see the anchor image.
My focal point medallion is made up of two of Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two with Standard Circles SM and Standard Circles LG layered on top. Lol, you know I’m push myself from time to time to step outside of my color comfort zone – voila -purple for you. It honestly doesn’t happen often, but I’m trying to change that!!
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Fish Background, Anchor Paper: Bazzill, K & Company Ink: Studio G (dye based) Accessories: Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two, Spellbinders Standard Circles SM, Spellbinders Standard Circles LG, Ivory Embossing Powder, Ribbon, Prima Lace Pearls |
You all are the sweetest! I’m cooking up some good stuff for you!! Come back and see me soon!
Wow Becca that lace is really something!!! I can just see you in a jean jacket with that on it too :o)
LOVE the fish background stamp!!! You make everything so different! In this case stamping that background on striped paper – I never would have done that. Excellent ribbon – love the touch of purple. Every time you say you go out of your comfort zone – you do it with class.
Big hugs, Candy
so creative-love the darker stamping (sentiment) over the lighter one (anchor)!
Super card Becca, j’aime bcp what you did and done with so much love, that’s why we love even more your work, good luck
Becca I love that lace and I love the bow too. The ribbon is really pretty!!
Beautiful card Becca – The stamping and colours are so subtle and that lace and bow, WOW. love it.

Fabulous Becca!!! Love the colours and the way you’ve used the stamps and the lace is soooooo beautiful and the add touch of purple to the bow just sets it of wonderfully. I just love your creations so much. Thank you.
Love Sheila xx
Becca, Where did you get the ribbon? It is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Janie
That lace is gorgeous, and I love how you utilized it on that beautiful card. I’m loving the color combination too. That is a pretty ribbon too. I like how you over stamped your sentiment on top of the anchor. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Beautiful combo of colors and design … where did you get that ribbon … I love it!!!
This is absolutely stunning! Your use of the ODB background stamp is stupendous. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your creation and thank you for your inspiring tutorials. I tried the gathered ribbon technique and I was able to create one!!!
I love every detail here! The background stamp, the faint image stamped behind the sentiment, and oh that ribbon and lace! Gorgeous!
what a treat when you step out of your comfort zone and use colors you don’t usually use. love that ribbon! and all that lace! you could really make it into a ‘girly’ card.
Oh man, it is gorgeous!! I love the lace and ribbon!!!
You are amazing! The card is beautiful and the lace and ribbon…..I want to shop where you shop. TFS.
Here I am seeing another very beautiful creation, the great Victorian look. Love this, Becca. Have a blessed day.
Hugs, Jeanielou
Hey Becca,
I never thought of stamping over a patterned paper! It really makes a difference in a large print stamp. I appreciate the subtleness of it. I also love the way the bow turned out!
Thank you for another beautiful card, and delightful tip!
Gorgeous card, Becca! great way to start the weekend!
Beautiful card. I love the fish background on the patterned paper.
Thanks for sharing.
I agree, that Prima lace is SCRUMPTIOUS!!! As is your card, Becca!
Very pretty, glad that petticoats inspired you. I sometimes wonder do people even wear slips let alone petticoats.
Another beautiful card Becca! Love the lace too and I adore the bow, not only the actual bow but the print.
oh lovely lace, great card, wonderful sentiment. like the subtly of the b’grd over the patterend paper. no winnners answered???, i’ll answer the call lol
So beautiful…..love the lace petticoat….
Gorgeous card- love the lace and I can see why you had to have it! I love the image stamped softly and then the sentiment over it.
This is wonderful, as usual. And the little pop of purple with the neutrals realy does make it POP! Keep it up! Let’s see some more purple out of you!
Beautiful, Becca. I need to remember that I can stamp on designer paper.
Good Morning Becca
BEAUTIFUL, I thought the fish were apart of the paper. the petticoat look is awesome and I looke the book and corner effect. you are so talented.
thank you again for sharing . The color combo is awesome!.
Again CONGRADS to those that won the BLOG!
This is SO PRETTY!!!! Yep, I can see Petticoats!!! :) I LOVE that you put a little bit of ribbon on the corner too!!! NICE touch!!! :)
This is gorgeous Becca, that lace is beautiful!
Just love this card, Becca. I’m a sucker for plaid — love the little corner accent you’ve added with the ribbon as well. My day wouldn’t be complete without checking to see what you have created. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent with us all.
I really love encouraging ,spiritual phrases that are similar to the ones that you use Becca. Can you give me an idea of where you find them? Thanks Also, we have lots of great outside card ideas but some inside card ideas could be of use too. Thanks.
Becca, your petticoat lace is so pretty and the checkered ribbon to go with it is so fresh and country looking. Love it! The image and sentiment are perfect together. What an inspirational card.
Thanks for sharing and hope you have a good weekend! :o)
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Very pretty and I haven’t seen this lace before. :)
When I saw this card, I thought that the lace was the ruff sea and the top part of the card was the calm sea. Just beautiful!
Stunning, Becca! I love all of the ribbon and lace!
As usual a beautiful card… I love everything abou it and the embossing of the background is genius. Just wondering how you got the pinking on the end of the ribbon, was it done with pinking shears? Tks for sharing!
I totally understand why this is your favorite lace — it is heavenly! I’ve never had the nerve to use that much lace on a card, but your ‘petticoat’ border is GORGEOUS!!! Your bow is awesome too — LOVE it!!!
I really like the vellum overlay, and perfect bow as always! Thanks for sharing! Hugs
Beautiful card. Love your choice of lace and the perfect ribbon to go with it. You are so creative. {{ }}
I love the color combo. Purple is my favorite color! I watched your video on bows and I am working on making beautiful bows like you. The lace is gorgeous.
This is so beautiful, love it. Hugs, Frances.
BECCA BECCA I AM TYPING THIS DURING A EARTHQUAKE HERE IN
YUMA AZ. ITS NOT A BAD ONE, MAYBE THREE ON THE RICTER SCALE. THE CARD IS BEAUTIFUL AND I THINK IT MAKES A GOOD MENS CARD. WHATEVER ITS BEAUTIFUL AND DIFFERENT. WHERE

IT.

So many little details to get to the altogether glorious finish. The first thing that popped out at me was the ribbon corner and the pinking on the bottom of the bow tails. After reading each comment, I had to go back and look at that particular detail. Then, the oh so gentle anchor stamp. So beautifully understated. Like some of your other followers I could not quite take in that you stamped on your DP. Yes, you told us, but really, who does that? Except you!
I love every little thing about this card. You done did it again!
Becca,
Love the lase on the card and the pretty bow. Those new stamps are so fabulous, I wish I had them. I sure hope that my info went through to you for the prizes, since you mentioned that you only received two responses, I always have such troubles with computer stuff. Well, hope to hear from you.

Wonderful card, beautiful ribbon,but i love purplr always have, thanks for sharing your wonderful designs!
Yet another very pretty card, Becca! I like what you did with the ribbon over the corner, and what a perfect bow. I love the way you layered the medallion, and that background was very creative. I love making my own backgrounds, which was my only way till I got inspired here to use background paper.
I totally enjoyed you ‘step outside the box’ Becca…nicely done! Like what you did with the fish stamp – I thought I ordered the embossing plate – in error I had ordered the stamp….so now I have both! And….thanks to you, now I know what I will do with the stamp – LOL!

Simply Stunning.

Beautiful, love what you did to the striped dp!!
Love it. He really does calm the restless sea. We just have to listen.
Your ‘Calming the Restless Sea’ card is really nice. I love the color of paper, ink, lace, and ribbon. Your friends and loved ones are so lucky to receive your beautiful cards! (I’m so lucky to see them). :)
neat stamping on the paper, I wouldn’t have known it wasn’t part of the paper if you hadn’t said. And I like he stamping of the sentiment over the image, pretty framing!
Hi Becca –
Gorgeous card! You never cease to amaze me. I really love that lace and the touch of purple. Purple in any shade is my favorite color.

That lace is the sweetest lace!! I would have been falling all over myself to get to the Prima booth, too.
Lovely way to accent the background papers and I love the anchor stamp and the Fancy Tags Two……such a cleaver way to pull everything together!

I love you work. Where do you get the beautiful scripture stamps you use.
