Home is the Heart

 

Hello there, peeking in for just a moment with a quick card.  I’ve been playing around with the new Spellbinders die templates and this one came in the mail today so I set aside what I was working on and whipped this one right up into a card.   I’m using a sentiment from Quietfire Design called Home is the Heart.  Quick and simple, really!!

The main focus is the oval medallion made using Spellbinders™ S4-294 Beaded Ovals.  On top of that template I’ve layered two Spellbinders™ die templates – Classic Ovals LG then Classic Ovals SM.  I created my own notched pennant shape that I placed vertically under the oval.  Thank goodness pearls are "in" – I lavished them around that oval – it seems to me that shape simply begs for pearls :-)

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Quietfire Design – Home is the Heart
Paper:  Graphic 45, Bazzill
Ink:  Colorbox Chalk Ink – Blue Iris
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ S4-294 Beaded Ovals, Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG, Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals SM, pearls, ribbon


Thanks so much for stopping by – I really do appreciate it.

    Beautiful card Becca. The beaded oval and circle dies from the new releases are definitely my favorites. I was so impressed with the new releases. I have been wondering however, will the punch dies work in the wizzard as well? Just wondering.
