Good Sunday Morning friends!! I hope you are well and find yourself smack dab in the middle of a glorious morning. You know we have officially hit the beginning of fall, now if the weather would just cooperate. You must sense how ready I am, right? I have a card today and the although I didn’t plan it this way, I pulled out muted tones dark tones. I’m using one of the sentiments from the September release of Our Daily Bread Designs called The Garden Tag Set.
My inspiration was this gorgeous bird that’s printed on a small K & Company envelope that I had my stash. I decided to use the envelope and its wonderful colors as my centerpiece and simply pulled out some of the colors to use as layers. Under the rounded envelope flap I tucked Spellbinders™ Picot Edge Circles. For the sentiment I used one of the inside accent pieces from Spellbinders™ Twisted Metal Tags and Accents and I’m beginning to think my favorite accent piece of all is the double pointed filigree accent from Spellbinders™ Ironwork Motifs. I also pulled out some Tim Holtz Glassine Paper out to play with for the first time – I crumpled it up then flattened and adhered to a layer of cardstock. The paper is quite tough and after crumpling, the texture was very cool. Can’t wait to play around with it a little bit more.
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Garden Tag Set Paper: DCWV, Tm Holtz Glassine Paper, Bazzill, Coredinations Ink:Versafine Onyx Black Accessories: Spellbinders™ Picot Edge Circles, Spellbinders™ Twisted Metal Tags and Accents, Spellbinders™ Ironwork Motifs, satin ribbon, seam binding, lace |
I’m so thankful for the kind readers I have and I do not take it for granted that you choose to spend a moment of your day with me. It lifts my spirits and I am sincerely grateful. Have a blessed day!!
Dear Becca, That card is so stunningly beautiful. I love the bird and all of the embellishments. The colors are really complimentary. I have a strange question. Where and how on earth do you manage to house all of your supplies? I have a room, about 10 x10 that is so overflowing with my supplies, and I know I don’t have even a small portion of what you must have. I would love to see pictures of your crafting area! Please continue to craft these gorgeous cards forever! I have been a long time admirer of your wonderful creations and I hope to be able to enjoy your works of art for a long, long time. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
Becca, what a beautiful card. I love everything you do. You are the one who is lifts my spirits, not the other way around. I don’t think I have ever “met” a more positive person in my life. I am a glass half full gal but yours in always overflowing. Thanks for always being there.
Happy Sunday. A beautiful card, and how cleverly you used that envelope. I love birds, and just got the picot circle S/B. Now I will know an interesting way to use it. Thanks for sharing this wonderful card (as always!), and hope you enjoyed your class last week. I can’t imagine YOU taking classes! It must have been a doozy, cause you should be TEACHING classes! Wish you’d teach in the Greenville, SC area….Hugs
Love your work may you have a bless day just so amaze at your gift.
I love love love this card! I am a bird fanatic as all of the birds I feed can attest to… The shapes are what really catch the eye. God Bless you and your family.
Morning Becca, I so l@@k forward to opening my email and finding a posts from you. It’s your exquisite card creations that inspire and motivate me and make my spirits soar each and every day, your talents are such a gift from our dear Heavenly Father.
This lovely card you created this Sunday is stunning and the verse is truly inspirational. Thank you for all the lovely ways you lift my spirits everyday with your gorgeous handmade cards and fill my heart with gratitude for the blessings that surround me.
I love this, love this, love this!! But you are driving me crazy with these fabu buttons!
have searched Michael’s and Hobby Lobby with no luck. Is there a password I have to use to get into a back room? Don’t laugh!! That is close to what I had to do at Hobby Lobby to get some of the new Spellbinders dies.
They were in Hobby Lobby’s weekly sale brochure for 40% off and the entire rack was empty for that whole week. I finally coerced a staff member to bring me one of each that they had locked in the office so that I could pick what I wanted. The lady in charge of that department didn’t seem very happy about it but I got at least a few of the dies I had been coveting since the release.
So tell me… What feats must I perform to get these buttons!
Your card is just beautiful, love the lace and buttons, thank you so much for sharing it.
Oh Becca what a joy to open my e mail and find you have blessed us with another stunning creation. My Mojo has taken a hike and motivation has gone with it but seeing your stunning creation is so inspiring. I love the colors you’ve used today and that lovely sentiment.
Blessings Bernie
Another winner! Thank you for sharing with us.
Oh Becca, THIS is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m LOVING the color choice! I THINK I see that crumpled up paper you’re talking about! VERY NICE!!!!!! AND I like the way you used the iron works die! Rather than placing it horizontally, you placed it vertically!!!!!!!! Just little things like that, using them just a little differently than usual, makes ALOT of difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gorgeous Becca! You are amazing as always!
This is just lovely!
Beautiful card and a great way to use an envelope. It is different than the usual uses.
I hope you receive cool weather soon. We are waiting for some here too.
Beautiful image and very pretty card.
Beautiful image and fabulous card.
Oh Becca, this is so beautiful is should be framed! I love the look, the colors and ribbons and the message. So pretty! Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Really beautiful, Becca!
Your card makes me feel like “All is right with the world”. With all the bad news we hear this reminds me that there is so much beauty in this world. This is a great Sunday card. Thanks
Oh, Becca, I spend many moments with you almost daily, but often don’t comment (too many blogs/never enough time), but this card is sooo AWESOME!!! Well, truthfully, I rarely think your cards aren’t awesome, but some just draw you in a bit more than others! Guess all of us in warmer areas are MORE than ready for fall, me included!!! Hope your glorious morning continues through the entire day — enjoy!!!
This is just Lovely Becca!
An absolutely stunning project from you again Becca. I can´t believe, that you can keep on and on getting all these fabulous ideas all the time. It is sooooo amazingly beautiful, that I can´t believe it. I just soo love this one here again.
You really touched me with todays card; it reminds me of my mom. I miss her everyday. Thank you, Becca.
Becca, great ‘feel’ to this card. I have been wanting the Picot Circles–going to have to get that one next!
Stunningly beautiful! The pink really accents the background colors and the bird! Love all of your work!!
Another beautiful card Becca. Thank you!

I love today’s card, with the pretty bird on it. The Spellbinders look so
pretty, they really make the card pop!!!!
WOW!!! You never cease to amaze me Becca…Your talent for papercrafting is outstanding! Thanks for sharing.
Pretty! I’ve got some of those dies on their way to me, but not the picot circles, they were out of that one. It’s all your fault Becca! I think, oh I don’t really need that one, not that many uses for it….then you do something (s) incredible with it and I go…OH yes, and maybe…the next thing you know the credit card is smokin’! At least I waited till they were on sale! Hope that you are well and happy,

This is beautiful, love the color combination. The bird image is so sweet, I like the notes on the same paper as the bird just so apropos. The sentiment is very meaningful. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D Beautiful work.
