Hi there blog friends. Don’t forget to have a look along my righthand sidebar and weigh in on your frugal tips under 31 Days to a Frugal Papercrafter. For today’s card I went with soft, soothing classic colors. The paper I was using is almost like a toile so I brought in some other classic elements like the Spellbinders Lacey Ovals. I think it goes perfectly with this new sentiment from Quietfire Design called If We Knew Each Other’s Secrets. I wondered if I could fashion some of the roll flowers out of an oval and yep, the lacey ovals worked just fine. I simply cut a spiral inside and discarded most of the middle once I ran out of scallops. I like them – it’s easy to bend down the loops to make offset petals.
I layered two lacey circles together for the look I’m getting here – they were just offset a little. I also cut the centers out with Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG. I didn’t want to pull another color in so I simply went with cream colored leaves using Spellbinders Foliage. The sweet little border at the bottom (perfect size) was made from Spellbinders Banner Basics Two. Loving that paper – I just can’t get enough of the K and Company Julianna collection from which I pulled all but my card base and the solid cream layer.
| Supplies I Used |
| Stamps: Quietfire Design – If We Knew Each Others Secrets Paper: K&Co, The Paper Company Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Prussian Blue Accessories: Spellbinders Lacey Ovals, Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG, Spellbinders Foliage, Spellbinders Banner Basics Two, Ribbon, Pearls |
Thanks for every click that get’s you here. I made it brief today because sometimes I get looooong winded :-) Be blessed, friends!!

Hi Becca!!

I’ve LOVED ALL your creations while I’ve been MIA!!! :)
For my “frugal” comment: Buy a tool that you’ve been putting off…. Something that you can use on MOST EVERYTHING! My Example? The Scor-Buddy/Pal! With EVERYCARD I use it! I look forward to pulling that thing out! AND it makes my crafting easier!!! :)
Absolutely gorgeous Becca. I love the beautiful work you do. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful card as always, Becca :o)

I think the blue spirals are great but if this month is frugal, where did you discard what you did not need? :)
Your card is beautiful Becca. it is so soft and feminine. Your flowers are so very pretty. Beautiful work Becca. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Beautiful, Becca. I love these colors and that paper is lovely.
Love IT! Love that PP and your flowers are divine.
Blessings Bernie
Hey Becca, as always you’ve outdone yourself! I love those papers too. And how creative of you to consider making flowers from that scallop…they turned out beautifully. I’ve been trying to figure out how to add some understated elegance to me daughter’s 29th birthday card. I think those roses are just what I need. Thanks again, Becca, for an incredible creation. Blessings to you, Girlfriend!
Lovely Becca! Your flowers are wonderful! Thanks so much for showing off the rubber so beautifully! I adore this quote.
Long winded??!! NOT! This card is just fab! Love those flowers, had been thinking along those lines the past couple days, but haven’t had time to get into my craft room to try it out. They look fantastic! Thanks for sharing, and please, we love to hear from you and your sunny outlook on life (especially since you live near the sun and some of us don’t)
Gorgeous, love it!
I rarely comment because I work full-time. But, I have to say … I wish I had as much talent in my little finger as you do in your entire body. You are so talented. And I appreciate the fact you share with all of us. Hugs.
Oh My Goodness. I rarely leave comments on anyone’s blog but you seem to prompt me to the most.
These flowers are just stunning. Thank you so much for giving this a try and for sharing the results with us. As always you have inspired us with this amazing talent God has given you.
As soon as I saw the flowers I knew you had made them using the same scalloped oval that framed your sentiment. They are so great!! Lovely card!
Absolutely love those lacey oval flowers!!! I have to try making them, I can see using them frequently. Keep up the great inspiration, Becca! Love you…
Oh WOW…I LOVE this card…I esp. love the roses…I think they are the best I have seen…I think the secret is the oval scallops…I would love a tutorial…I really like that sentiment…It got me thinking…Thanks so much for sharing.
Blessings,
Valerie
The card is beautiful but I don’t understand how you made the flower. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great day :)

You are never long winded for me – I love to read how and why you did something on a card, what is your favorite paper at the moment, where you purchased some of your ‘stuff’…..just makes you so ‘human’. That sounded strange, so I guess I mean when you share with us, I feel that you’re one of us – you’re much more creative, but one of us.
This care is womderful and I love your technique of making the ‘flowers’. Great idea!
hugs
Another beautiful card, Becca!
Love the lacy flowers :o)
Hugs, Candy
This is a lovely card, Becca. I like the colors, soft and muted.
Beccccccccccaaaaaaaaa
Oh, I so love the color combo and the ovals. Wow wee I love the flowers made from the oval as well as the layered look. You are one creative woman of God.
Be blessed !
Hi Becca,
I think you must have been a professional paper engineer once upon a time! You have an amazing ability to shape, and layer paper in so many fantastic ways! When I try to create a card, either my colors don’t look right, or my layers are working against each other! After an hour or two, I usually end up putting everything in the scrap bin to use on something else. But I keep trying!
Thank you sooooooo much for sharing your creations!
Hugs
Amazing card. Beatiful flowers! Thanks for sharing.
BECCA BECCA WHAT CAN I SAY. ANOTHER FANTASTIC AND
BEAUTIFUL CARD WITH GREAT IDEAS. MAKE YOUR OWN FLOWERS
AND THEY LOOK LKE YOU PURCHASED THEM. THE TWO OVALS ARE

You always match the right colors together and make it look just Great! I love your placement of ribbon.
Wow! but that is a treasured keeper. The colors are so gorgeous together….so ‘rich’ looking. I love how you venture and come up with a winner, paths I would never think to try.
Hugs, Jeanielou
I would have never thought to use the scalloped ovals to make the flowers. You must lie awake nights creating in your mind. Are you ever able to turn off that brain and get some sleep? Keep up the great work!
Becca, your card is so beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your God-given creativity, love and inspiration. You are truly a child of God!
lovely card Becca and the colors match so well…I love the flowers wonderful idea…. thanks for sharing!
Love this card! Especially the colors and the flowers!
Becca,
I love your card, the color, the sentiment, the paper, the flowers. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent.
vey pretty. Soft
Interesting. I tried doing one of these type flowers the other day with a scalloped lace die and didn’t like the results. It’s still on my desk, so I keep looking at it. Yours turned out beautiful. I guess I need to go back to the drawing board. BIG GRIN
Tis is so beautiful and elegant; I love this paper and K & Company in general. I haven’t commented recently but I look every day and it’s all good. I especially love the new quietfire stamps (piglet) and will have to find a UK supplier.
Love & a O

OMG – my favourite colours together of all time. Anything in this colourway melts my heart!
