Happy weekend friends, today I have a card to share using a sentiment I love from Quietfire Design. The sentiment is called “Learn to Write Your Hurts in the Sand”; pulled proudly from my stash when I realized I’ve never used it before. It does me as well stamping it and turning the meaning over in my mind as it does sending it out to someone who welcomes the message — does that happen to you when you stamp.? I think a huge part of why we stamp is empathy – we know how we feel when we get a meaningful card and the sentiment resonates with us – at least that’s how I operate :-) In the scheme of things this is an easier card than most – instead of my normal layers, I covered my focal panel with a piece of sheer fabric that is edged with lace. Beyond that I added Spellbinders Window Three, flowers made from Spellbinders Rose Creations and wonderful tendrils from Spellbinders Sprigs (love!!)
Here’s your Step By Step Recap of die cuts and layers, from the bottom up: Start out with a Card Base 7-1/2″ tall by 5-1/2″ wide (or see how to make that size with the Hinge Technique HERE) , foam tape, white matting panel cut to 7-1/8″ x 5″, cover with lace fabric and sentiment stamped on the bottom, foam tape, die cut layer using Windows Three, 7 flowers created with Rose Creations and Sprigs. As always, stack, position ribbon, pearls, flowers and bow on correct layer, admire, then glue!

So, so very beautiful!
Becca – Your card is simply lovely. Thanks for sharing it!
Beautiful!! Love the lace and of course the dies from Spellbinders!
Awesome elegance.
Gorgeous, elegant card with a beautiful message.
Great sentiment and love the used of the sheer material – lovely as usual.
Hi Becca. Gorgeous card. I love the lace edged fabric and the way you have used it. The sentiment is beautiful, one that we should all heed. Take care.
WAUW Becca, this is just another really gorgeous creation this week. Sooooo beautiful and those words are so true, and I wish all people knew them and would live after them, then this world would be sooo much better for many others too. Really gorgeous work. I love the lace fabric, but it´s sooo hard to find here these days, and I have looked for it for other projects, where I wanted to use it, because I think, it´s soooo cool for romantic works.
Hope you´re having a wonderful week-end too hun and look after your self too.
I love all of your cards Becca, but I have to say, this one really took my breath away! Beyond beautiful! Well done!
So absolutely elegantly gorgeous! And a wonderful sentiment too!

Ohh my its gorgeous..stunning..beautiful !!
I’m enchanted with your beautiful card. Delicate, yet strong; the perfect showcase for Suzanne’s lovely sentiment. Your use of fabric creates a gentle, sweet charm for the whole card. I’m simply wow’d.
Beautiful card. I just bought a piece of Christmas fabric to do the same sort of thing, so this helps me get going on it. Thank you for all your inspirations!
A beautiful card for a beautiful sentiment. My goodness. The fabric is a lovely touch. Simply gorgeous!
Very elegant card, wonderful sentiment!
Still creating gorgeous cards and projects, Becca!
I’m looking at some of your cards and out of my mouth comes out these words: Wow, Incredible, Awesome, Amazing, Beautiful and I only seeing 2 of your cards. I make cards too, but nothing like yours. I hope one day I will be able to make at least one like yours. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent.
Hi, Becca! I’ve been away for a while. My dh had open heart surgery and we’ve been busy recovering and adjusting to our new “normal.” Had to pop over this morning to see what you’ve been up to and found this glorious creation. It’s heavenly…all that white and those gorgeous roses. Love the sentiment, too. Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Gorgeous, love that lace for the background, sweet embellishing!!
Hi Becca,
I missed this one and i don’t know how as my inbuilt radar normally sends the finger to your blog each morning after i’ve been onto Sue’s blog. What a stunningly beautiful but simplistic card you have designed. I have to agree with what you say about sentiments as before i tried my hand at making cards, i got fed up trying to find one that said what i wanted it to say, hence the reason i think i took up making them. This one would make a beautiful wedding card especially if it was a low key affair that the couple were having. A card can say a million words with just a few of them, saying it all.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah
Very beautiful!
Beautiful, Becca…. I do love white on white and, like you, find great meaning in that sentiment. If I could buy all the sentiments that I love, I’d be swimming in them (and broke) !! Which reminds me, we’ve seen one little spot in your crafting area… how about a full tour sometime?
This card is truly breathtaking !! Thanks for inspiring us to do more and be better.
