For my card today I reached back in my stash and pulled out Spellbinders™ Labels Two because it’s so unique and I love that die template. I wanted to see which more current templates I could pair it with so I made it into a frame using Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG and layered it using Spellbinders™ Floral Ovals (clipped across the top so that I could make it smaller) and Spellbinders™ Labels Seventeen.
For a change of pace I tucked some lace up underneath my main panel and finished off with a blinged out pearl pic and a safety pin with some swarovski rings. As usual the last item is a bow tied with the Peg Bow Maker – this one a 3″ Figure 8 Bow. :-)

Just love your card, it is my favorite of the blog. Welcome home my talented blogger friend.
So elegant!
What a beautiful card, the pearls, stick pins and pretty colors are so elegant.
This card is beautiful … I love everything about it. I just picked up some items to make stick pins, however, I was wondering what you use to cover the sharp point of the stick pin … can you give me some information on that? Love & Hugs!
Simply stunning, as always. Your work is so beautiful, I want to be you when I grow up.
Hi Becca, As always your cards are an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas so much appreciated.
Also thank you for your bow maker. I am having so much fun and all my friends want one. Everyone should have one ready to use.
Blessings
Ana
Lovely. It is such a summer card with those beautiful flowers.
The colors, the bow and this incredible pin.
Gorges!
Merci!
Francine
Sweet beauty, so much detail on one lovely card.
Pretty in pink. I love this card… Well I love all your cards.
It seems that something significant has been added… the little black pin with the jewels on it!! How adorable! And I thought I was finished shopping for the week… guess not. I have all those dies so I’m going to see if I can make anything close to the beauty you have here. I’m going to have to start copying you exactly until I pick up on how to layer these dies. Then, hopefully, I will have developed a little bit of an eye for what you seem to do so effortlessly.
Amazing, beautiful card!
Gorgeous!!
The colors…the sentiment…that ribbon…
those pearls!!
Just gorgeous!!
I especially love the little peeksy of lace at the bottom ;)
Thank so much for all the amazing inspiration this week…
it has just been fabulous!! :)
Every morning i log on to see what awesome designs you have come up with yet again !!! here on the other side of the world (New Zealand)some of the die cuts you use are unavailable here so i use what i have but have to say they NEVER !! turn out like your awesome cards but do give me inspiration to get into my craft room & have a go.your Blog is amazing.:):)
Hi I found your blog through spellbinders I am truly in awe with all your creations. I just love this gorgeous card the colours you have used are just amazing I can’t stop looking at it.
Hugs Rizwana xx
Sue nelson asked what you used on the end of your stick pins, i bought a $4.00 NZ – pack of 200 Plastic earring backs, to hold them on i squirt a little dob of glue in the opening (where you would put your earring through) & he! presto no pointy ends. hope this helps.
PS i found them on line through a bead & jewellery supplier.
Beautiful card as always.

Stunning card! I so love that you use corsage/floral pins and decorate them so nicely!! I love them.
Beautiful card, Becca! I don;t know that I’ve told you how much I appreciate the way you give us details of what die you used and then making it “hot” so that with just a click I can go to Spellbinders to see what the specific die looks like in real life…..always makes a clearer picture for me. Thank you.
hugs

Very romantic, absolutely gorgeous. Each element is perfect. Thank you for inspiration.
This card is breath taking. You always combine the most beautiful colors and everything is so well balanced. Truly a work of art.
Simply Gorgeous!!!
I wish I had known you were in Maine. We moved to Bangor, ME, from South Carolina 2 years ago due to my husband’s health and I really miss SC. Everyday I look forward to seeing your new projects…..your cards are so beautiful. Since we have been here I have not made any cards. In SC I used to meet with friends every week to make cards together and up here I have no one. Therefore, you help to keep me sane by all of your postings.
