Hello there blog friends! Thanks so much for popping in to spend a moment – I really do appreciate it!! Such a busy day, but I did get to finish up something I started last week and I thought I would share. Today I’m going with a much more dramatic look – I love matting things with black – it makes an amazing pop. The sentiment is a new one that I just love from Our Daily Bread Designs called God’s Love – I paired it with a new background stamp called Grunge Butterfly Background.
Simple layering today!! I cut my square layers using Spellbinders™ Grand Squares then for the focal part of my card I cut Spellbinders™ Labels Seventeen and embellished the end with Spellbinders™ Twisted Metal Tags and Accents. I think I get more use out that last die template than I ever imagined :-)
| SUPPLIES I USED |

Gorgeous! The black ribbon and border really do make the card stand out! Love it!
Love the card. The color combination is beautiful and different for you!
Elegant card, black seems to make it more striking! TFS.
Hi Becca,
This is so elegant and the sort of card I think you can happily send to anyone of either gender (maybe a little less bow for the men, lol..).
I love the twisted metal die, it can be used so often and is lovely just to add as an embellishment too.
Have a good day. Linda
Your card is so elegant! Adding black certainly creates a dramatic touch.
I love the dainty little swirl around the diecut is a lovely accent.
Thanks for sharing! :)
BEAUTIFUL card, again, as usual … very elegant and dramatic. I love too how you layer and move around your die cuts to stack in a different way.

Your card is stunning. The black really does pop and it makes a wow sort of statement. Love that gorgeous bow done in black. I love how you have off set the framing on the sentiment. Beautiful work. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
This is beautiful. I don’t know how you think of all these creative ways to make a card. It is truly amazing.
spectacular! I agree black the ground the image even in interior decorating something black should be in the room.
As a long-standing Michael Card fan, I was thrilled to see his lyrics on a stamp! You’ve done his words great credit with your card. I may rethink the Twisted Metal Tags set after seeing your design.
The twisted metal tags are one of my favorites. Loved it the first time I saw it and have never been sorry I bought it. Like the way u used it.
So beautiful. Thanks Becca for sharing your talent.
Amazing! Wonderful showcase for that fabulous sentiment. Thank you, Becca!!
Gorgeous!!! Love the black with those colours.
Stunning card Becca! That black does really make this card pop! Your bow is gorgeous as usual and the sentiment is lovely.
Gorgeous! Stunning! Dramatic!

I feel so blessed to have “stumbled” across your blog a few months back. Your projects are so amazing and so beautiful. I must admit, you are enabling me to want to buy more spellbinders! I used to be able to do just that, but was laid off from my job in July, so finances are not what they used to be. :-) I have several of your posts saved so I can go back to them and create some of them for my friends and family. Thank you so much for all you do for the bloggie world. You give me so much inspiration. ~Kim
This is gorgeous Becca, Black backgrounds always looks more dramatic and love that gorgeous bow.
YES! YES! YES! That is what I like! B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!!
Absolutely stunning creation again Becca. I really love your layering here and the black really makes it pop. Just wonderful sweets.
Wonderful, Beautiful…LOVE Black as the accent.
God Bless,
Joyce
Awesome! Love the black bows! Those commenting icons are so cool, they remind me of a crazy quilt!
Another stunning creation, I love it.
Patricia
You’re so right, that black certainly makes a statement. Looks really good. Also love the sentiment. It’s so good to hear from you an a regular basis again Becca. You were sorely missed by us all!
love from Christine xx
Gorgeous! Just Gorgeous! I, too, love the look of black behind things. And that black bow makes it glamorous. TFS
Becca, I’m so thankful that God fills your head with all these beautiful designs day after day………and, that you in turn share them with us!
Wow! You hit this creation dead on with glamour. Black always makes a statement. You are really putting out the cards lately which leaves all of us just thrilled. They really help us to get creative, too. Thanks Becca.
Very nice card.. I so want that twisted metal die…
Absolutely yummy!!
Oh Becca, love this. I just love black accents added to almost any color. Really adds a richness to your card. Kinda like those little black dresses do for your wardrobe. This is gorgeous.
Marcie
Becca, you are so talented and creative! I receive so much inspiration from your posts, and this one is just beautiful. Thank you!
Very handsome, but then everything you do has such a touch of class. What an inspiration you are. It’s wonderful and I look forward to seeing what you will create next. Love it from Nova Scotia Canada
Even with the bow this would make a handsome masculine card!
Unusual colours for you to use and I agree itis very dramatic,,,I think it would suit a gentlemans card or Sympathy card.
Thanks fior sharing with us Becca.
LOL Eileen
