Hi there blog friends! I have a new card to share, but thought I’d keep the post short and sweet since I have family visiting. Since I spent a bit of time cataloging my embossing folders, I was inspired by all that luscious texture and wanted to capture it in a card. I thought the embossing was so exquisite that I decided to stick to one color so that the embossing would take center stage. Imagine that, making a paper choice within a couple of minutes – are you with me? My card is 5.5″ tall by 7.5″ wide. I started out by cutting the scallop bottom using Spellbinders™ Classic Scallop Edgeabilities. I then cut three 2.25″ strips, trimmed them to points, embossed each using Spellbinders™ Elegance M-Bossabilities (Side B), placed small pearls on each flower motif then attached the strips to my card. Once I could see where each of my points would fall I could gauge where to put my sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs – Flourished Verses set. Spellbinders™ Bitty Blossoms grace the bottom of each strip right above their point. I let my satin ribbon and eyelet lace span the top of the card and perched the triple bow made with the Peg Bow Maker on top of Spellbinders™ Picot Edged Circles before attaching to the card.
This is an easy format card with a dressy look, that can be changed up for Wedding, Christening, Anniversary, New Baby, Easter . . . I can think of many so more. Imagine just putting some soft color in on the embossed flowers and echoing that soft color in the ribbon! No matter the occasion, it’s a great way to show off some embossing, so this one goes into my card file for when I need a quick card – I hope I’ve given you an idea to tuck away for a rainy day :-)

Very elegant card Becca, I will have to give this white on white thing a try. It’s so pretty, I really like it!
Hugs,
Jody
All white and wonderful.
Love It…so beautiful!
I LOVE this, so understated elegance!! I may have to try and case this.
Wow Becca….color….no color…you can do it all! This is absolutely gorgeous! TFS
Oh just too gorgeous! The white on white is luscious. It marries together so beautifully. Enjoy your family time!
Wow Becca this card is just stunning! I love the all white theme and all that texture from the embossing really makes this card pop!
Of course you’ve given me more wonderful inspiration to tuck way for a rainy day! What a beautiful card, and you’re right, this idea could be used for so many different occasions. I love how you placed the ribbon over the Picot-Edged Circles. I really like that pearl brad you have in the center of the bow – any idea who makes those?
How absolutely beautiful.I too need to inventory my folders as I tend forget them when I card make and tend to only use the same ones.Thanks for the inspiration nudge.
Stunning so elegant all white
Stunning and elegant beyond belief. Love that this design could be used for any occasion. Luv luv luv this!!!!!
Marcie
I love white on white cards!! No matter how simple they’re made they are always so elegant!!! I, also, find them the most challenging because to keep VERY clean throughout the making can be quite hard to do; but the results are always so stunning.
Such an elegant card you have created Becca. I think this would make a lovely wedding card. Love the texture that the embossing has made. This is so soft and feminine and mono chromatic color scheme is the way to go at times. So glad you are enjoying time with your sweet son. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Oh, how Gorgeous this is. Love the white on white and you have made it very elegant. Card that can be for any occasion.
I have a couple sympathy cards to make so this has really inspired me. Thank U.

Gorgeous card Becca. Love the white on white. The textures and layers are fabulous. Enjoy your special time with family!
Beautiful card! You always make even the simplest card over the top- love it!
Oh Becca, your card is adorable, from head to toe! I think it would make a gorgeous wedding card and I think you are right in keeping with the all-white card so that the embossing was center stage.
Absolutely gorgeous as always!!!
Love,Love this !!!!!
Wow, Becca, it is gorgeous.
Awesome card. Easy, yet elegant and appropriate for so many occasions.
This card is incredibly beautiful! Makes me want that Spellbinder now. I am obsessed with embossing folders! Thanks for sharing. And I am so glad you are able to enjoy your son’s visit.
All white cards are always so elegant. Yours is no exception.

I am going to have to make a copy of it and try an Easter card with it. Hummmm…colors?? Your idea of the spinning thingie is GREAT!! Who would have thought? Always good to see what one has and can use. Still trying to get my craft room organized on a VERY low budget. Wish me luck. God bless and ty so much for sharing this terrific card. Continue enjoying your visit with your son. ekciampo
I have always loved white on white cards….to me they signify etherial, peace, simplistic, wedding and graceful. The embossing pops on the card and gives it a very graceful appearance….and of course your finishing touches are as always perfection.
LOL Eileen
Wow!!!!! Absolutely beautiful; thanks for sharing.
Charo
It is really nice.
But I don’t understand how you can do the classic scallop on just the top of the card because the back have no scallop … I don’t know for me both parts will be scallop because my machine is not enoff wide a cannot do
It with my card open.
How big is your die machine?
It is not the first time this problem happen and I don’t understand how you do it.
If someone have the answer would you please tell me how it is done.
Merci beaucoup.
Francine
Gasp! That was my expression at the beauty of this card when opening this page up and seeing it.
Pure elegance!!! WOW!!!
Wow! A work of art!
You done it again….so beautiful….I absolutely love this…..I’m going to scrap lift this one for sure…..thank you for sharing…..
Once again you produce a beautiful card. I am thinking already that I can use this as a starting point…I do not have the flower die, nor any Edgeabilities, but I think I can use what I have to make a decent effort.
Thanks a million. Enjoy your week.
Just beautiful!
Pure elegance! I just love it. This is a gorgeous, rich looking card.
Absolutely AMAZING card, Becca!! You have the most fabulous ideas! Hugs and blessings, Sabrina
What a wonderful card. White on white is a terrific look. Enjoy your visiting!
Simple and delicate card, beautiful. Dianne
I love white on white! Great use of luscious texture, Becca! If you think you might do a Becca Bit later on, I’d love to see how you shape your flower petals so nicely and how you get the pearl to adhere and sit properly in the center.
This is just stunning! Love the versatility of the design.As always your bow is beautiful

absolutely beautiful
Love this card! Simply elegant!! Enjoy the time with your son. I lost my oldest son almost a year ago. He lost his battle with depression and We have been devastated…If I could only tell him how much we loved him and miss him each and every day…take advantage of every minute you have with him. Make him your priority while he is visiting.
This is an absolutely MUST make card. I will just have to make some substitutions for items I don’t have yet. But you always make me think I CAN do it!
Love everything — the white-on-white, the layout, the embossing,, the bow (I am thrilled with the peg bow maker that my husband made for me from your directions) and the flowers.
Opening your blog is such a happy time in my day. Thank you!
(Enjoy your family time! How about a photo of you and your son?)
Gorgeous—-gorgeous, gorgeous,gorgeous, GORGEOUS!!!
Beautiful, beautiful card, Becca. Your work is so inspirational, thanks for sharing!

OMG!! This card is so beautiful. I would love to incorporate this idea some how on a scrapbook page.
I think this is a gorgeous card, but you didn’t mention the flowers. Are these a Spellbinders die as well? Also what did you use to do the striped embossing on the underlayer?
j’ai découvert votre magnifique site et vos beautés de cartes et j’aimerais savoir dans quel magasin vous achetez vos outils et si de france je peux acheter
continuais a nous emerveiller avec vos beautés . je me detend a visiter votre site le plus souvent possible car j’ai beaucoup d’ennuis santé
a bientôt peut-être Marie-thérèse
Just BEAUTIFUL!!
This card is so beautiful. I am left wondering if you used the ScorePal for the underlayment card stock stripes as I do not see a MBossibilities with that.
This card has so much potential for other occasions….I have a Silver Wedding Anniversary occasion to go to and I think this will be a hit. Thank you for the ideas! They are awesome.
Absolutely fabulous, Becca!
Enjoy the precious time with your son :o)
Hugs

Oh my goodness! This card is so luxurious! I have to say, I would be terrified to touch it… the white one white one white is stunning!
You never cease to amaze me, Becca. What a wonderful, beautiful card. I cannot wait to make some myself. Your cards truly inspire me. I look forward to opening your blog each day to see what wonders you have created, and must admit that I am disappointed if you haven’t posted a card that day :-). Keep up the wonderful work.
Amazing Paper Grace – this card epitomises your blog title – just so lovely. Thank you
Oh my goodness ~ this is gorgeous!
Wow Becca this card is simply gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve had a long-standing love affair with white on white. In fact, it inspired me to learn to emboss (in the pre-Cuttlebug era) with a stylus and lightbox. But one thing is for sure, I’ve never seen W on W done as lovely as it is on your card.
Beautiful card! Could you tell me if you use watercolor paper for all your cards as a base? If so what brand,and weight? Thanks.
This is just gorgeous, Becca! Every little detail is wonderful- your scoring, the pearls, the lace trim. Just beautiful!
What a wonderful card, white on white is so stunning, look forward to the next one!
I wanted to tell you that I love your blog!!! Amazing!!! Thanks for all the inspiration!!! I have you on my huge list of blogs I love to read and visit!!
Again thank you so much!!!
Angela Holt
Your white card is so elegant! I love all the texture from the embossing.
Becca,
This an absolutely beautiful card. For me, the color stands for the purity of real friendship, which is difficult to find. Many blessings! ~Cynthia
Hi Becca and happy weekend
This is another stunner of a card and I especially love the pure white on white. You have a wonderful eye for balance and style.
All the best Linda
Ok, THIS is my new favorite card that you have EVER made! WOW!!!
Becca,
This is stunning!! I’ve just “pined” this card to my card design board on Pinterest. No one does a bow like you do and this one is absolutely beautiful!
OHHHH So Beautiful!!! Thank you for this stunning
yet, simple (one color) card. Love it!
Missed hearing from you the past couple days..hope you are well.
God Bless
wow..This is stunning all in white.
Thank you for this wonderful idea! I gave you credit on my little blog so I won’t forget where your fabulous ideas are! I ordered some spellbinder dies that should be in soon, can’t wait to try some of your other ideas.
Good evening Becka, I was wondering if you have had any trouble with the spellbinders “Fancy Tags Three”? I tried removing the fancy tag with all the holes around it and the fancy wings on it ripped. Tried it twice and it was very hard to remove and it ripped both times.
Sincerely,
Linda
Absolutely stunning!!
Becca, I am new to your site. I haven’t made cards in awhile, and I got stuck on the darn bows. I was in a swap (before I saw your video’s) so I did the best could, sent them out and figured oh well. Now I want those cards back so I can make the bows beautiful, like yours!!! You are so talented, and so sweet for sharing. I am so glad I found You!!!! Blessings, v now I don’t have an excuse…yeah!!!! <3
I have just found your site from Pinterest and adore your work. I am new to scrapbooking and cardmaking and had not heard of Spellbinders. Notice they have a machine Grand Calibur, is this what you use for cutting and embossing. Is it similar to Cricut products? Thanks so much for your tutorials they are great! Take care, Lynne
This is a beautiful card. I used your idea for this card and several others. Great work!
June
Simply beautiful, all one colour, I’ve never tried that but I will now.
Lynn
Indeed, you never cease to amaze me!
