Hello there blog friends! Sorry for the interruption in my appearances here. You know what they say, when it rains, it pours. It seems I’ve had to repair every major possession I’ have this month. It started out with getting son that car, then my car was in the shop, then my ac/heat pump died. Since it’s hot where I live, I thought — no problem. We’ll just stay in the RV until the house system is repaired. Well the batteries were dead on the RV and although it is plugged into power – nothing works. So now it is away getting the spa treatment. All that to say that I’m still smiling. Sweating, but still smiling. It has kept me busy though; my craft time is down a little bit but I had this card ready, just waiting for a sentiment when I found the perfect one. From this month’s release with JustRite Papercrafts I snagged this sentiment from the True Friends Vintage Labels Four set.
My digitally printed paper is from an Etsy shop – By Digital Paper – I loved the roses. I thought that Spellbinders™ A2 Filigree Delight would be the perfect frame, so I cut that in kraft paper and rimmed it in gold using a Krylon gold pen. It just so happens that the smaller size of Spellbinders™ Floral Ovals fits perfectly inside the aperature for Filigree Delight. I topped that off with my sentiment cut using Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals SM. The card was finished with some silk Mays Arts Ribbon and some delicate little mulberry flowers from IAmRoses.

Absolutely beautiful. The color combination is brilliant! Thank you for sharing!
I haven’t visited your site in awhile, however as always I’m so impressed with your talent. This is a beautiful card
Becca, the card is absolutely lovely. I enjoy the elegance of the cards you create. Thank you for sharing with us.
Absolutly beautiful. I just love your work and your bows are fabulous. I sure wish I could do that well. :)
Another lovely card Becca. You have certainly had a few trials of late. Hope they are all soon behind you. Christine xx
As always, this is just beautiful, Becca! Love how you always fit more than one Spellbinders die cut together ~ so creative! And those colors are gorgeous!!
Missed you Becca but it sure is worth the wait! Your cards are———gorgeous,beautiful, lovely, encouraging, inspiring and sooooooo grateful that you are so willing to share! I love every one and your bows–outstanding!
Stunning project .Melanie
Oh my goodness! Truly gorgeous. I am so loving this as I just got my “Becca” A2 Filigree Delight and now a card that I can make as I have all the dies. Sorry to hear of all your trials but God will correct it all for you, I’m sure. Headed to the Scrapbook Expo in Orlando next weekend. Are you going to be there? I will look for you.
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS BECCA!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) LOOOOOOOOVE that DIGITAL PAPER TOO!!!!!!!!!!!! STUNNING!!!!!!!!! :)
Got my fingers crossed that life is not as, ahem.. challenging and the worst is behind you. What a lovely card! You have outdone yourself. The digi paper is the perfect backdrop for your artistry.
Becca,
What a beautfiul card. I love the digital paper. Colors are so great!
I understand your pain with everything having to be repaired. At my house, first it was my husband’s boat, then my car, then I had to pay taxes and then it was the frig at the beach house! LOL!
What a beautiful card, Becca. Sorry to hear about all the breakdowns. That is so frustrating! But thank you for finding time to post. I love the beauty and inspiration you bring to my world!
Absolutely beautiful Becca. I adore that saying and its so true. Hugs Rita xx
I´ve sure missed you girl, but boy this was worth the wait for sure. Your card is stunning and those dies all goes so perfect together and made the most perfect match here. I love the entire card and the colors are stunning too.
Hope that no more will let you down here now and everything is fixed and fine, so you now can have a wonderful week-end with no more worries to come. Take good care.
It always seems to be the same at our house breakdowns seem to come in threes. You get the first two and then wait for the other shoe to drop wondering what the third one will be. Becca do you know what the background from By Digital Paper is called I bought some but they are too small. I had gotten in the habit for years of making 4 1/2″ x 5 1/2 ” cards but I am loving the bigger cards, the larger size gives so much more freedom to embellish. Have a great weekend the sun is shining here and the temps are warming .
Forgot to say I got my Becca Bowmaker but haven’t had time to play but I did get it put together it was a snap. TFS
Ann, the size is small on that digital paper, but if you are proficient in photoshop, it’s very easy to crop to the small size of the paper then (Ctrl-t) ‘transform’ it to the size you need.
Becca, I hear you with all the ‘stuff’ breaking down. Same problem this month at our house PLUS income tax to be paid! This is a lovely card, and I’m delighted to see how you used the Filigree Delight with the Floral Ovals. Hooray…I have both of those dies, so I can try a layout as you have here (won’t be as pretty as yours…but well…). Hope you can stay cool, get all the ‘stuff’ repaired – without hitting the budget too terribly bad. Thanks for still taking time to share a card. It’s hard to stay motivated when you’ve having to think “Oh what NEXT?!”. But these are just little blip in the roads, nothing on the real important scale of life. Hugs.
Forgot to ask in my comment: What type of printer are you using to get such a great printout & what type of cardstock? My Epson Stylus NX515 refuses to print on Cryogen, and an old Canon will print it, but not great colors. Thanks.
Not only a pretty card but a lovely saying as well!!
Gorgeous card!! Lovely layout!
Yet again, another gorgeous card. I love the antique feel that it has.
I am curious … Do you use a laser printer or an inkjet type for your digital prints such as the digital rose paper on this card?
Also wondering if you will be at the Scrapbook Expo in Orlando next weekend. I’m super excited to go!
As always a gorgeous card. And the color combo is awesome, I love everything about it. Thanks for your creativity.
Gorgeous card! Love the saying, so true.
Love the card. What a great saying. Need to sende that to a couple that has helped us alot.
Hope things settle down for you soon, Becca…it’s always hard when so many things go haywire at once…your card, however, is in perfect condition. GORGEOUS! And that sentiment is wonderful!
that is usually how it goes one thing goes and others follow, hope no more is in store for you…. Beautiful card!!
So sorry to hear about all your repairs — wish you were in for the spa treatment instead! Thanks for smiling through the difficult times and for sharing your gifts.
Beautiful cards and explained very nicely
