Hello there! I have a new card to share with classic dies from your stash. I’m in the making mood and had a thought dancing around in my mind before sitting down to create so I thought I’d share some muted soft tones – they seem to be my favorite. I’m using a Quietfire Design sentiment – I love that you will always be my friend! I’ve used this sentiment before but I don’t think that phrase can be said enough and I think it needs to be said out loud to let a friend know how you’re feeling.
The 7-1/2 x 5-1/2 card base is layered with a panel covered with Design Paper that measures 6-3/4″ x 4-3/4 ” with the design paper just a tad smaller to give the white border. Next, I layered two Spellbinders Pierced Rectangles so that they overlap in the center of the card. Where the rectangles overlap I placed Spellbinders Fleur de Elegance then Spellbinders Elegant Ovals and embellished with the swirls from Spellbinders Cinch and Go Flowers. It’s a card where I wanted to keep much of the inner space open to see the lovely design paper, so I finished up with a bow, some mulberry flowers and an elegant pearl button.

What a lovely surprise Monday morning here ! This card is Super
GORGEOUS the way you have used the dies and the Becca BOW!!!!
Thank you Becca for sharing Hugs Pamxxxxx
Hi Becca, A lovely mix of rectangles and ovals–past dies with your new flourish. Great combination but I had to see you working it first because I couldn’t visualize that combo. You go, girl, always beautiful creations. Love it when you do the thinking for me especially when those clever thoughts don’t spring from my imagination. Thanks. Barbara
Absolutely elegant. I really enjoy the mulberry flowers.They add such a nice touch.
I love how it looks like a window :) It is so gorgeous!!! I want one just like it sitting on my desk for May 26th (My Birthday) :D. Love the swirls,the soft colors, especially the pearl button….I do love my pearls even though I could never afford real ones.
I love all the different heights and demnsions. Love your background. Looking to make a serious card for a friend going through a tremendous awful time. You always make pretty an artform.
Such a lovely card with such a sweet sentiment.
Ohhh WOWZERs, its simply gorgeous :) I love it!
Oh my, Becca, that is so artistic with the pierced frames. I love the way they are suspended away from the background paper. Today I have been making cards with the ladies shoes and am having a ball. It seems that I can use up all of my DSP scraps and the toes of the shoe don’t even have to match to be stinkin’ cute. My sentiment reads: “when it comes to friends, you’re a shoe in!” I just received the pierced frames and cannot wait to try a card with them suspended as you have done. Also, I purchased the card creator and wonder if you have experimented with that. Have a beautiful week. Hugs,
Sara
Becca simply beautiful.

Hello Becca
So strange! I did that shape on Saturday, not finished yet still thinking of a Sentiment!
I couldn’t believe it when I saw your card in the same theme!

Hi Ms Beca again a beautiful card..thank you for sharing your talent….
Hi Becca, Stunning card, as always !!
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Love the layered rectangles in the background…must give that a try! Thanks for the lovely inspiration!
Quick question: Did you use the Neenah for your Cinch n Go flowers? It almost looks like mulberry paper… they look so soft and fibrous. Love ’em!
Exquisite, love the openwork background design, using the rectangles like this gives depth, it’s a really gorgeous card…TFS…HUGS…Denise (UK) xx

Yet another stunner Becca, love the sentiment X X X
After trying your cards I want to keep them and not give them to anyone. They are just so beautiful and elegant. Do you make any masculine cards? I would love to see some of your work on masculine cards.
