Good morning friends, fresh air, outside, breathing it in! I’m up from the craft table today and away, so today’s post is short. Always in need of a “Friend” card in my stash, today I’m sharing an all die cut card, no stamps, no coloring. Sometimes I think that makes for a quick assembly :-) The Silhouette is so very classic and is smack dab in the middle of my style and is surely a good choice for a girly card.
I started out with a 6″ x 6″ card base and added a vintage musical paper that is matted with kraft colored paper. On top of that I added Spellbinders Grand Stately Circles in black and another circle on top with pink striped digital paper. I followed that with the laurel leaves from Spellbinders Royal Medallions also cut in kraft colored paper. The pretty detail of the oval from Spellbinders Elegant Ovals is a great base to show off my cameo cut with Spellbinders Silhouette. I finished up with a hand cut banner, pointed on the ends and added Spellbinders Celebration Two.
Today is a change of pace for me with colors. Aww yep, pink got worked in but I wanted to pull out some black cardstock and give it a go. I love the way colors pop with a black backdrop.

Hi Becca. Gorgeous card today. Love the dies and your colour combo :-) Hugs xxx
Hi Becca. What an elegant strong yet feminine card. Love it. Especially that elegant oval. It’s a fave!
Hello Becca,
I love this, it feels very organic and what a wonderful use of the dies.

Soooooo pretty, love the little butterfly in her hair….just wondering if sometime you could make a video on how to make your awesome bows? Pretty pretty please?
Dies are always good, the arrangement and proper matting take thought. :) enjoy the day..
Beautiful card! You make me think that I should put together
some girlfriend cards to have on hand.
Breath deeply while your outside, I live in central WA and our visibility is down to 1/2 mile due to smoke from all the fires, we are heading to our 2nd week of unhealthy air quality, what I wouldn’t give to be somewhere with fresh air, blue skies and a nice walk out doors!!!
Have a great weekend!
Stay safe…I know it is bad there. We are west of Portland and our air is really sucky today. We’ve had some haze lately but really bad today. I love your area…praying for you and your firefighters.

I can only agree, we always need friendscard, and yours here today are amazing as usual. Love the unusual colors you´ve used, and I´ve always liked silouettes very much, so that is also a big bonus on thiis one here. Everything looks amazing and sooo beautiful put together.
Very classy. Now I know how to use a silhouette stamp!
Stifling hot in west central FL today–no breeze, feel like we’re under the broiler here!
Beautiful card! Love the oval die.
What a classic look. It reminds me that I don’t use black enough!
And I love that little butterfly! And the layering … and the bow….
Enjoy the fresh air :o) Hugs

I love sifting through my supplies , it helps to come up with ideas!
Beautiful card! Enjoy your day/weekend away from craft table. And take in that beautiful day b/4 the dreaded winter comes. Ugh ugh!
so lovely!
The card is beautiful.
I love silhouettes. the muted color combination is so pretty.
No stamping does not take away from the grandeur of this card.
thanks for sharing a wonderful care.
Holy moly, that is a stunning card, Ms. Becca! I love the black, tan, and pink together. Wow! I have the silhouette, and haven’t used it yet. Now I may have to play with it a bit. I’m thinking wedge wood look and maybe using dark blue as you have the black. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Becca, Wonderful look with colors that surprisingly work. Everything you do works. Another delight. Thank you. Barbara
Hi Becca,
What a lovely card and color combo would not think of using blk. with kraft but like it. I have a silhouette die cut not spellbinders this would be a good way to use it. Enjoy the weekend.
Becca, even with just die cuts,
you manage to make this very elegant.
Glad you are taking some time off and enjoying the great outdoors. Hot here in Florida and afternoon thunderstorms! Beautiful card, little different than you usuall produce but great just the same. Need to make more friendship cards!!
Hugs

Another really beautiful card Becca. I often do cards with just dies and it works well. There are so many gorgeous dies out there which are longing to be used!!

Very nicely done. I’m about using black as you are about pink. But it’s good to switch now and then!
Aww Becca, so lovely so elegant and beautiful color combination. xx
God Bless

A lovely feminine card Becca. I can see it in the blue and white of Wedgewood china too. Hugs Christine xx
Lovely card today. Thank you.
A really magnificent card Becca and so very elegant. I think I would have to frame it – how could anyone dispatch it to a drawer or a box? Perish the thought!
I just love how you bring out the beauty in everything you touch, you are such a gift to your followers. God bless you always.
I have never been a fan of the silhouette but the way you have done this
card I must say I love it !
The colours are so different YOU dear friend can get anything to work .
Enjoy your time out in the fresh air !
We have seen your fires on our news over here our thoughts are with
all who are affected some of our firefighters have gone over to help.
We know what these fires are like as we have them here it’s horrific .XXX
So pretty!
Very lovely. Especially the striped paper.
Oh my, another favorite!!!! This is a work of art! Thank you!

WOW! Another card today? Must be our lucky day. What? No inky fingers! This card is lovely even without any added ink. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy that clean air and sunshine.
Hi Becca
Another Stunning card love your colours choice too.
Love Marion x
Love your card today, it’s sooooo pretty. I am lacking a silhouette die in my collection, so I think this one might be THE one.
Hi, Becca,
I love the combination of black and brown/tan. I would have expected the silhouette to be black. Challenging conventionality is the exciting part of creativity and you do it so beautifully!
Love and blessings,
Sandy
Wow what a lovely card today Becca. Great colour combination too. Take care Jane B.
Fantastic set of colours.
Very nice! I like it.
Beautiful card Becca! Thank you again for sharing your talent!
Love the colors in this card. It is one I would send /give to a close friend. Thanks for your all the work you do on your cards.
Love this card! Love the black. Lovely!
Hi Becca, This card is stunning, I love the way that colours pop with a black mat.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
I don’t know how I missed this post yesterday, but I did. So I just want to pop by a bit late and tell you how pretty it is! So charming! So elegant! Thanks for putting some beauty not my day, Becca!
