Good Sunday morning lovely friends! Can I just say that when I have the chance to sit down and create it calms my soul. It has been a great week and sitting down to work and reflect and get back to what I love has me brimming with gratitude. Thank you for all your kind words, I’m always amazed and thankful for you all. Today I’m sharing a two color, two layer card with an inspirational message that is one of my favorites from Quietfire Design – Live in the Moment. I promise, it doesn’t get any easier than this for layers.
Once I had my card base and a second layer in place, I simply cut Spellbinders Heirloom Rectangle (as a frame). Next I cut Spellbinders Oval Floral (as a frame). Then I centered the oval vertically over the horizontal Rectangle and lightly marked to know where to stamp. After stamping, I attached every thing permanently. I couldn’t resist slipping in a little bit of lace to embellish and a couple of pearls to outline the oval . . oh, and a bow! :-)

Sending warm wishes and showering you with my thanks and gratitude. Please smile, feel loved and have an awesome day!!
The white contrasts so beautifully on that shade of blue. Love the bow. Another gorgeous card.
Wow, wow, wow! Becca, this card is absolutely stunning. I’m not really surprised, of course, because all your cards are so, so beautiful. It may have been quick to put together but you have to have the inspiration to start with! Best wishes

Hi Becca I love getting your posts as the cards and the sentiments are always so beautiful. I think that they reflect your personality
Hope that the snow is not affecting you
Stay warm and safe

What a wonderful idea, thank you again for creating something so beautiful and sharing it with us. I do have most of the dies and I am excited to create something once I have a chance. I wish I could learn how to tie the bows though. I always go for the flower in the corner instead.
Keeping all the people affected by the snowstorm in my thoughts, we live in Minnesota so we usually get the cold and a blizzard from time to time, but nothing what came your way.
What a beautiful shade of blue a perfect contrast to the rest of the card, elegant and beautifully stamped.

Hi Becca, Oh, my, yes. It doesn’t get any better than this card. Any color, any occasion, just beautiful. Again Becca-Magic and so glad you didn’t forget the bow. Barbara
This is beautiful Becca!
Beautiful card Becca. The dies are lovely and so too is the lace. Wonderful sentiment from Quietfire. Hugs Christine xx
Your creations make me SMILE and I received your love today. Thanks for sharing and making me feel special. You are also very special and so much appreciated by those of us that follow you and enjoy your beautiful cards. Well, I must go outside today and try to move the 23 1/2 inches of snow that is laying on my driveway. Hope I can get the snow thrower started! Wish me luck!
Absolutely LOVE your card, the dies are incredible and really compliment each other. That’s definitely my kind of card.
Happy Sunday Becca
I have to say another beautiful creation. Its always such a pleasure to be able to view your work. Amazing each time you share. Thank you Becca for always putting a smile on our faces. Have a wonderful day.
Lovely, as always.
Hi Becca. I love blue and white. Very wedgewoodesque. The font on the sentiment is always lovely too. Seen pics of the snow in the US on UK news. I’ve never seen so much snow. Hope all your followers are safe and warm if they are affected.
Your card is stunning! You make it sound like they are so easy! Wishing you a wonderful week to come!
Oh Becca!
How beautiful! I just can’t keep up with the die cuts. There are so many. Sometimes I can’t find them so I try to improvise. I too am making Valentine cards in my cold basement. We are still snow bound, but the sum is shining brightly. Can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing than making cards for those I love. Thank you again for another awesome inspiration! Sara
Thank you, Becca, for sharing your talent and inspirations with us. Once again, you’ve created a beautiful card! Love how you seamlessly combine die sets… It makes me want to get out all of my dies and play. Wishing you a blessed Sunday.
Gorgeous!!!!! Love the lace!!!! What a pretty way to combine these two dies. Thank you so much for posting this, Becca. I just love it!!
So very pretty!
Lovely card…lovely you! Thanks for always giving and caring for us….
Love your latest card Becca. You make it sound so simple but……
Like the blue and white together!
What an exquisite card! I love how you think outside the box and make the dies work together. The sentiment is wonderful.
Love this beautiful card, Becca. The blue and white is absolutely stunning and I would have never thought to put those dies together…but I will try it later today.
The sun is shining beautifully and making the two feet of snow sparkle like glitter.
Have a beautiful day!
So beautiful Becca! If only you would teach classes, I would relocate!
I love using cream as a background colour, but then again all depends on what patterned paper I am going to use. Just love this card Becca. You have given me food for thought so “thank you”.
Love this combo of spellbinders. Works with so many of the quitefire sentiment stamps. Beautiful card.
Absolutely gorgeous as usual. I love all your creations. Thank you for the inspiration!
Another really stunning card with such imaginative layering of dies. I really MUST try & learn how to do this from you!
A beautiful card Becca with a wonderful sentiment,
XxxRuth
GUSH…..GASP…….stunning! The subtle colors, the elegant frames surrounding the beautiful calligraphy sentiment, the softness of lace & ribbon. Oh my, Becca, you have outdone yourself! I just don’t have enough words to describe this gorgeous card. It is “amazing”!
When, when, when can we start buying you new items?? I want Swirling Grace right away. Thanks for another inspiriting idea.
Just beautiful and encouragement to launch into using those blues!
Hi Becca

Hello, Becca! It is great joy to have you “back”!! I so missed you and your beautiful creations. Thank you so much for sharing.
Another beautiful card, beautiful colour, words and dies. Love your work, it is so elegant.
It’s so beautiful!! I find it so difficult to put die cuts together so they don’t look to “busy”…but wow, you do have the gift! Your cards looks so elegant!
Oh Becca! This reminds me of Wedgewood china! Gorgeous!

to use your dies.

Beautiful. I love the piercings on these dies. They are very defined and look great.
Happy you are feeling good about things and enjoying creating again in
your happy space!
This card is fit for a Queen love it and the BOW you are a tease with your bows!
still trying to get something to look like a BECCA bow (running out of ribbon lol)
Hope you all are safe in the snow ! We are in bush fire mode here very dry and
and so scary at the moment heaps of fires out of control….. And soooo much smelly smoke. Take care everyone PamXXX
Mmm, love this Wedgwood blue combination…so pretty…and two layers with a little lace and pearls always works! Also one of my favorite Suzanne stamps.
Blessed Sunday to you, too, Becca.
Joni
Only you could make a two-color card so very beautiful!!! Have an awesome creative week!
Baby girl your cards are beautiful and they cause me to make some of my own. Thanks for the inspiration you give to us.
Good evening Becca,
Hope you enjoyed your Sunday.This is just a spectacular card, love the color and the dies. Are your bow makers still available. I am so glad I bought mine when I first came across your blog. One of the best crafting investments I have made; along with Grand Calibur and Spellbinder dies. I have the rectangle version of the oval one that you used. Do you think I could use that for the frame and then something Floral Ovals for the top? Just wondering! Love all your cards and all the inspiration you give so many people, and so unselfishly! God Bless!

Love your cards. I love how you layer designs and they always look so elegant. One day I hope to be able to do something similar. Until then, I’ll keep looking to your work for inspiration.
How beautiful!! I love the simple elegance (though it doesn’t look simple) of this card! Wow!
So delicate and fresh! Great sentiment. Another fabulous work of art!
This card is so lovely! I love the elegance created with the beautiful Heirloom Rectangle die and Floral Oval. I’m blessed to own the Floral Oval and definitely will be adding Heirloom Rectangle to my dies. With so many awesome dies available, it can be difficult to decide what to purchase. Getting to view the dies on your cards really helps me decide which ones to purchase. I appreciate being able to see the dies in use. Thank you Becca!

I just LOVE the sentiment, you´ve used here too and everything together is just sooo perfect Becca, and ofcause we souldn´t do withour your gorgeous bow and this blue color here is just soooo over the moon gorgeous too, tht I can only find one word for this card, and it is: PERFECT to the last little dot, and I just sooo love it all here.

Beautiful card and use of dies. I don’t know how you think up all these combinations! I love the cream with the blue, too.
This is just stunning. I love the way you used the die cuts and embellished with pearls. I want to learn how to make a bow as beautiful as yours. thank you so much for sharing
Love what you did with the dies to make frames they work well together and the color combo is lovely.hugs xx

Stunning card. Love your use of lace and your ribbons. You always know exactly where to place things for the most impact. Beccalicious!
Good morning Becca,
This airforce blue coloured card is so pretty and shows up every detail that the beautiful intricate dies have. I love how you have accented it with the pearls as they give it a much more sophisticated look that rhinestones don’t have. The lace that you add along with your stunning bows just add that jeu ne sa qui that always makes your cards something so out of this world for me. Thank you Becca for another stunning work of art.
love and crafty hugs

Hi Becca stunning card I love the oblong die it’s gorgeous
