Wow, doesn’t that sentiment speak to you? Thank goodness people do dare. I simply can’t tell you where I would be if kindess, compassion and empathy hadn’t caused people to reach out to me and my family over the course of our lives. Doesn’t this make you brave enough to try?
This is one of the sentiments in the newly released Keep My Lamp Burning set by Our Daily Bread Designs. I had saved it hoping I could do it a little bit of justice. I wanted clean cut lines and minimal embellishments so that the impact of that wonderful sentiment could speak on its own. I selected a white linen paper from The Paper Company and paired it with a shimmery cover stock weight in a yummy pomegranate color. Sheer white ribbon is sandwiched between the two matching Amanda Blu flowers from my stash and it is finished off with a JBH vintage button found at Joann’s. Three small pearls are on the lower edge of the focal panel.
I hope you like it! I’m working on much this week but I will be posting as much as I can.

It speaks, Becca, dear!
Such A Beautiful Card!! I think the sentiment is just such a tug at your heart, for the sender and the receiver.
I love the way you used the beautiful wide ribbon, and then layered the flowers as a sandwich so to speak. That is one very brilliant idea! It also makes the card feel much more like a gift. I just Love it! Thanks for sharing your talent….

If you were going to send a card to our Lord and Savior, this one is worthy. Perfection!
What a beautiful sentiment and a beautiful card – TFS. Ali

Becca, Another breath-taking card. I read your blog first thing everyday. Your cards are so beautiful and elegant. They are eye-candy for me!

This card is absolutely beautiful. I love the sentiment, that would be my Sister. She is always on the front line with her hand stretched out. I tend to stay in the background. I have learned over time that prayers get thru no matter where we are. Thank you for being an inspiration to me.
Becca; Once again you create an amazing card. I too can’t wait to go to your blog to see what you have created each day. Thanx for the “where I purchased it” part, now if we can just get you to put the finished size of the card too, that will help. LOL
Thanx for sharing your amazing ideas with us.
This card is just breath-taking – wow!! You did a beautiful job with it, the sentiment is wonderful, and yes, I’m so grateful that people do dare to reach out, it’s a blessing for all involved.
Becca, Becca, Becca –
What a beautiful sentiment and an absolutely gorgeous card. You never cease to amaze me with your works of art. I look forward to seeing what you have done every day.
Thank you so much

Gorgeous, Becca! You achieved what you were going for – clean, elegant, with the focus on the strength of the quote. Wonderful!!
I’ve always admitted to being “adhesively-challenged,” but have discovered lately that I am also “ribbon-challenged.” I get glue everywhere, and I can’t tie a pretty bow for the life of me. I am in awe of your wonderful use of ribbon. No one does like you do!
Incredibly beautiful Becca, your ribbon treatment with the floral is stunning!
This is stunning in it’s simplicity. I just want to stare forever lol!
Soft and powerfull…Dare to reach out…TFS
very pretty
hugs

Good evening, Becca This is another stunningly beautiful card and that exquisite ribbon and flower compositiont is a perfect foil to your sentiment which is so beautiful.
Gorgeous design!!!!
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever read that sentiment before, and your card so does it justice!
Oh my, my dear, oh my! I love it!
OMG! How true is this sentiment. This was the message today in church. We are doing the Love and Marriage based off the book Fireproof for a 40-day trial. We have to dare ourselves not nag, nag, and nag to our spouses. This is just perfect. I love it!
Becca you talent never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful creations with us.
This card literally took my breath away! You are so amazingly talented! Thanks for always inspiring us….
Absolutely stunning!!! I would say more but I’m lost for words!!!
Sheer Elegance!!!!
Wow…what timing…. at this moment my partner has just had open heart surgery, and there in a room full of strangers, we are reaching out to one another for support……. Your card says it all. You really are God’s angel. You just never know the love, hope and encouragement your blog give us.
God bless you
