Nobody Need Wait

Hi there!!  I know I’ve been quiet.  I was having some blog updates done in the background and am still working out a couple of kinks.  But, I do have a card to share today.  This is actually the sentiment I couldn’t fit on my card last week.   With a little bit of time to think, I brought it back to try again.  What a powerful saying by Anne Frank, and it’s so true!

I love stamping on design paper and I simply colored this up with a couple of Copic Markers.  Because the image is so small I kept things simple with shading and such so that the color didn’t bleed outside the lines.  Honestly, it took all of 2 minutes to color this up.   I nestled the focal image inside a flap made with Spellbinders Labels Five.  After adding a border with Scalloped Borderabilities Petite and Big Scalloped Borderabilities Petite, I tied a bow and embellished with some tiny pearls.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  American Art Stamps
Paper:  We R Memory Keepers – Grandma’s Kitchen, Bazzill, The Paper Company, K & Co.

Ink:  Versafine and clear embossing powder
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Labels Five, Spellbinders™ Classic Scalloped Borderabilities Petite, Spellbinders ™ Big Scalloped Borderbilities Petite, May Arts Ribbon, Recollections Pearls

By the way, thank you so much for playing Double Play and participating in the recent Blog Candy.  Our lucky Blog Candy winner won the bonus also!!  That lucky duck had all the words – she emailed me that she was traveling but managed to get online at the right times to snag the words.  What determination!!  Congrats again Donna!!   I have to say that it is my pleasure to try to make things a little bit fun around here. 

Thanks for stopping by.  I’m working on the next Double Play, some tutorials and some heartfelt stamping. :-)

    Such a pretty card Becca, I like the floral image and the sentiment. The DP doesn’t take away from the floral image, it stands alone so nicely and of course that bow is just the right finishing touch done the Becca way. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-DReplyCancel

    Becca,

    I love the sentiment stamp. If you were having trouble with the placement last week, you sure ironed it out. It looks wonderful and fits your placement perfectly. Great card !! What beautiful ribbon.
