Our Family is a Circle

by 63 comments


I hope you don’t mind if I share another favorite . . .  This is one of the new tags dies – Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three.  I loved the lacy ends of the die so I used three to make a lacy circle.   Put together, they almost remind me of a doily.  I can tell you know that I’ll be reaching for this one possibly more than I should.
The scallops and half circle were made using Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circles and Spellbinders Grand Circles.  I had the perfect sentiment in my retired pile to fit in that circular area, so I brought it out.  (It was almost too large for me to use).  Paired with cream, this soft powdery teal is another of my comfort colors.

SUPPLIES I USED

Stamps: Stampourri (Retired)
Paper: Bazzill, 365 Degrees – Pink Paislee
Ink: Ancient Page Dye Based Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three, Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circles, Spellbinders Grand Circles, Making Memories Button, Ribbon, Pearls

Today is a two post day, so this evening some time I have a new reveal to share.

    I know what you mean Becca about having favorites. There are no rules in art. If it is pleasurable to you than use it I always say. Your card is very pretty. I love the addition to the Becca Bow just lovely. I think the medallion looks like a pretty doily too. Great composition and beautiful work. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-DReplyCancel

  • Cathie (Ontairo, Canada)January 17, 2011 - 8:20 am

    Hi Becca,
    Your card is so beautiful and the new release motif is stunning. I can’t wait to get me hands on this one! I especially love the way you use little bits of cutouts to create a new look. The background layer of scalloped circle is so suble that it just adds a hint of texture and the soft line but does not take away from the focal point of the card. Truly a great idea! As well, you always have such perfect finishing details.
    Love and hugs,
    CathieReplyCancel

  • Pat JandacekJanuary 17, 2011 - 12:45 pm

    ‘possibly more than you should’ ?? I don’t think so!! Not when every piece you’ve ever done employs all sorts of things in unique and fabulous ways. How else are all of us unoriginal thinkers to learn how to maximize use of our tools? TFSReplyCancel

  • Linda DuensingJanuary 17, 2011 - 2:03 pm
