Good morning blog friends! I’m overwhelmed by your reaction to the box I last posted. Many of you asked where the tutorial will be posted and I’m sure it will be on YouTube, so keep a look out. Of course if you are subscribed, you’ll get a notification ;-) In the meantime I have a card to share today and a short post. My card base was made using Spellbinders™ 5 x 7 Matting Basics A – I knew by using a template instead of manually cutting, the sides in reference to the bottom would be square – perfection! My card is 4-7/8″ x 6-7/8″. I created a small panel using Spellbinders™ M-Bossibilities™ Infinity (Side A) – don’t you just love the subtle elegant texture it adds to a card without overwhelming? I’ve always been an embossing folder fan but set them aside for a while for a fling with design paper. They are definitely back in my heart :-)
I keep coming back to the new borders – I think I’m addicted – they add so much elegant flare and can be tucked anywhere. I added Spellbinders™ A2 Bracket Borders One underneath my textured panel then added my lace and seam binding with bow on top. Last, I added the sweet sentiment from Quietfire Design using the 2013 Valentines Day Stamp Set.

Oh, my….I love the way you used that bracket border edge. And the embossed background is positively elegant. The bird image is so sweet!
So beautiful XX Melanie
Such a beautiful card Becca, love everything about it but my eye was specially caught by that beautiful bird image. I am guessing it is a Susan Winget one? Would you tell me where you got it??
Thank you!

I love every single card you make! Your talent amazes me! This card is so very pretty, especially since I love birds! What product line is the bird, or did you color it? Thank you for sharing with us!
Another beautiful creation today Becca. I particularly love the little bird and the bracket border at the bottom of the card. I assume you coloured the brid yourself, if so, you have done a wonderful job there.
Thank you again for inspiring us to have a go.
LOL Eileen

You never disappoint Becca! I have pre-ordered those 5x 7 Matting Basics and the Bracket Borders One as well and I just received those wonderful stamps yesterday! What a great use of these new products. I love the bird too.
This is very pretty. I love the borders, too.
What a gorgeous card, Becca!!! So elegant and feminine with al of the lacy details. You are such an inspiration!
Wow!Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing.

Your card is a knock-out! I am enchanted with it. Each element comes together as a harmonious whole. What a lovely creation.
What a lovely card. It makes my heart smile. :)
I think this card is one of your absolutely best! It’s just stunning. I’m with everybody else too—where the heck did the bird come from?
Thank you so much for sharing how to make this very elegant card. It is very beautiful.
Very beautiful, gorgeous elements and design. Hugs, Lori m
Dear Becca, I never tire of your creations. They are fresh, stunning and brilliant every time. Thank you for inspiring me <3
Ooo, a total favorite!! LOVE the bird, the flourish, the texturing and layering, all gorgeous, gorgeous! Adore this card!!
I’m a huge fan of embossing folders, that’s why I design so many of them, actual Infinity side A is one. Embossed paper is so versatile and beautiful!
blessings to you today my friend
LOVELY!
That is a beautiful card! How did you cut out the flourish at the top? It looks like part of it is hanging in mid-air?
Love, love , love this card. So beautiful.
I too want to know about the bird and the background behind it with the
writing,flourish and stamp on it. I read over and over the list of products
and couldn’t see anything on these two things, except a mention of
k & co.
Could you please tell us about the bird and its immediate background
on your next post?
Elegant setting for a beautiful sentiment.
Thanks for using Quietfire stamps.
Just when I think you have pulled every rabbit out of the hat, you pull out another beautiful card. I love the lace and seam binding on the bottom.
Thank you for sharing and I look forward to your lovely box tutorial.
love it, it is so pretty and yes I love the bracket borders myself, its on my list to buy asap.
Gorgeous card! Beautiful design!
This card has got to be my all time fave! Your attention to detail is like no other!
I am with Ronny!! I have searched and searched your list of ingredients and can’t figure out where that gorgeous flourish came from. I hope you’ll share. The card is amazing and that flourish is a BIG part of what makes it so gorgeous… give it up, Becca!!
Another gorgeous creation – I don’t know how you do it time and time again!
Deanne :)
