Hi there friends, today is a new day!! Wow, the migraine wasn’t quite done with me but I’m definitely feeling marvelous today. I have another sneak peek for you using a new Our Daily Bread Designs set. These sets become available on March 1st, but there’s so much coming for March that I need to start showing you now so that I can work my way through the month, lol! I used two different sets . . . the first is a tulip corner set and the second set contains this powerful sentiment. I’m using Spellbinders Curved Rectangles and picked the largest size. Quite conveniently, stamping the Tulip Corner set twice yields a lovely frame. I stamped them both with Stazon Ink and colored with Distress Reinkers.
The frame I created is bordered with the Fleur de Lis border from Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Accents using the fleur on three of the sides and the dots on one of the sides. The center hole in the frame is cut from Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio Two. Everything is smudged with blue dye based ink to give it a little bit of color. I guess you could say that I’ve been in the mood to color this week – this was the easiest and quickest of the items I colored this week. I’ll have to apologize in advance that I don’t know the manufacturer of the blue paper I used. I’ve had it forever and have kept it because it’s one of my favorite shades – a medium blue with a gray cast – I struggle to find that shade.
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Eternity, Tulip Corner Paper: 140lb Strathmore Watercolor, Blue Spotches – from my stash. Ink: Stazon Black, Distress Ink Reinkers, Assorted Dye Based Reinkers Accessories: Spellbinders Curved Rectangles, Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio Two, Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Accents, ribbon, pearls |
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Take care my friends!!
glad you are feeling better!
Wow, Becca, this is gorgeous! Beautiful sentiment, and those tulips….stunning! Makes me dream of spring days to come, when all this snow and ice has melted, and the little spring flowers are poking through the ground! Your coloring is spectacular! TFS
Hugs,
Beth
Wow that is fantastic. The Tulips seem to cheerfully jump out to say Hello TFS
Must check out the tulip border when they are released .
What a pretty card! I love this new tulip corner stamp, and what a great way to display it! The colors are so pretty, especially with that pretty blue shade of paper. Love your use of the Fleur de Lis accents for a border – clever! Hope that your headache goes away quickly. Take care.
Another ‘WOW!’ card. I love the vibrant colors and tulips/…hmmm… spring is just around the corner and you have allowed them in our homes. Good for you.
Hugs, J’lu who have empathy for your migraines…

This is stunning Becca! Beautiful sentiment.
Beautilful card love the colors and hoe you popped it up. TFS
I love the vibrant colors of your tulips. Your card just screams “Spring”…I am looking forward to that season. :) Thank you for the beautiful card!
Gorgeous as usual. I was going to try the other blog hop, but signing up on the other items was too complicated. so I dropped out. Sorry.
I like you items though it does give me incentive to try different things. Thanks.
oh how lovely! boy am i ready for spring to get here. those tulips are gorgeous. it made me think of an old/vintage tablecloth i had seen at the peddlar’s faire here in our town.
Dear Becca,
You are such an inspiration! Whenever I am feeling blue, I look up your postings and cards. The tulips are beautiful…spring is in the air!
Beautiful card. I love everything about this card. Being a Christian too, I love it when the ladies use scripture. Thank you.
Beautiful card Becca, love the way you colored with your distress inks. Your coloring is superb. I agree that is a very pretty shade of blue. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D. You have a nice weekend too.
Beautiful and very springy looking which I’m ready for.
As always your card is beautiful. I love those tulips! It’s 8 degrees this morning but yesterday I saw the little tips of my tulips poking out of the gound. Come On Spring!!! Hope your migrain is gone and you will have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings Bernie
Are those great words or what! The card is beautiful too. Good Job!
Love the way you use so many different elements so creatively! I’m a horrible “color-er” :-( . How were you able to cut the opening in the blue cardstock smaller than than the white layer (so that the blue layer shows through the top layer)? Thanks for sharing, Becca!
Becca, Your beautiful projects and cards always amaze me!! I love this card and I definitely am in the Spring time mode with my card making also.
I can’t wait for your other ODDB creations.
God Bless
What a beautiful card! Thank you for posting it for us to enjoy.
Very happy to hear you are feeling better today, Becca.
Your card is wonderful!!!
Hugs, Candy

Love how you have the fleur de lis around the panel. Gorgeous tulips (my favorite flower) and card.
Gorgeous as always Becca! Thanks a bunch for sharing all your lovely creations. I got my Gypsy yesterday, so I’m creating all sorts. So tonight there will be paper bits everywhere!
Thanks again
Jessica
We already knew it, but gotta say it YOU ARE A STAR!! Love the card, love the blue, love the colouring on those tulips. Absolutely gorgeous.
The little Dutch girl inside me is dreaming about how I can get those tulips! Yummmm!
Hi Becca! Lovely card, and with those gorgeous tulips I”m already hooked on the new March set by ODBD! I wonder, how do you store your stamps from them? Are they in the original plastic that they come in, or do you have them in a way cool storage bin or something? I just this week took all my stamp sets from ODBD and put them ALL in one box…an old purple magnetic closure card making set I bought on one of the craft shows on t.v. about 5 years ago. Not sure if they’ll stay there!
Hope your migraine is GONE today, never to return!! Blessings!
Doni
Beautiful card!! i hope that your migraine is gone. Take it slow today!
Love how you framed the sentiment with those gorgeous tulips! Sooo pretty!
Thanks for sharing! :)
Gorgeous! Love your beautifully colored tulips!!
A most BEAUTIFUL spring card Becca! I love everything about it. I’m so glad you’re feeling better. Those migraines are awful. I get them too. Thank you for sharing your outstanding work. Hugs and blessings! Patty W.
Another glorious card. I think that if I had as much talent in my hands as you do in your little finger I would be thrilled.
Hi Becca, My husband has severe migraine headaches due to allergies to caffeine (chocolate has caffeine). He found one thing that helps him, it is called fever few. He stays away from caffeine, but ever once in a while something he eats will trigger a migraine. He keeps these on hand for those occassions. Just thought you might do your own research and who knows maybe this could be something that might help you. I wish you the best and thank you so much for sharing your beautiful God given talent of creativity. I really enjoy your wonderful cards.
This is a beautiful card, full of spring and a beautiful sentiment as well.
Thank you for sharing your creativity.
Another lovely creation. Can not wait for tutorials on any thing
you do.
Sorry about your headache. I thank God I do not get migranes. What a beautiful card. I came across your youtube videos a few days ago and just love them. I have done a few things with some of the ideas but I must admit I do not yet have right-angle punching down just yet. Almost there.
Thanks for all of your beautiful ideas.
Beautiful projects and a lovely blog!
Beautiful card, love the tulips especially because i am from Holland hihihi.
Hugs Corine
Hi Becca so pleaeds the migraine has almost disappeared…they’re such dreadful things. Today’s card is another stunner love the colours and the image is so beautiful.
Love Sheila xx
So sorry about the migraine, Becca! I know how you feel. I went to a migraine lecture in the UK and the neurologist recommended eating protein, carbohydrate and fruit at each meal – fruit first as it digests the fastest. Breakfast is really important for migraine sufferers, he advised. This is of course in addition to identifying migraine triggers and avoiding them. Splash face with cold water and take painkillers early as they may reduce the length and severity of the attack. I find wearing cold gel patches on my forehead, as soon as I feel one developing, of real benefit. Get well soon.
And the card is fabulous. What a beautiful sentiment!
Hugs

Beautiful coloring and excellent framing, great idea to frame it out with the flowers like that!
Hi Becca…
What a beautiful card. I’m like you, I love certain shades of blue and never seem to have enough of them. The fleur de lis layer on this card really makes it pop! I’m anxious to see the tulip stamp too! I went to the site, but it must not be in yet. Thank you so much for showing us how beautifully it can be used! I’ll keep watch.
Hugs!
Hey Becca…..were we to be told who won the blog candy yesterday? I thought you said it was to be announced on your site? Am I brain dead today or what, lol. Thanks.
what a lovely card – great colours and stamps.
