Hi there friends, I went a little bit CAS (or my version of CAS) on you today. I wanted to do a something that I could showcase with some ruching so I kept things pretty simple. I do love the look of the ruching though and have a tutorial at the end of this post. I’m using a sweet set of stamps from Crafty Secrets called Angel Blessings. It’s a pretty large set that contains these sweet little cherubs and the sentiment that I stamped right under them!!
I ran my ruching up and down the card and sheer ribbon horizontally while I centered a turned rose on top of Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two. For the main focal panel I cut Spellbinders Labels Fourteen and backed it with an element from Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Doily Accents. After cutting out most of the image, I finished off the bottom edge with Labels Fourteen.
Here’s a picture from straight on so that you can see all the elements.

Another absolutely, gorgeous, breathtaking card! I love the ruching effect. I used your “figure 8″ bow on one of my cards at SCS the other day. Got a lot of comments about how much they liked it and one even said she came to your blog to watch the tutorial (because I gave you all the credit)! Thanks for all you do and your sharing. You are a very sweet gal!

Thanks so much for the ruching technique. It is a very lovely effect. Your card is simply gorgeous. I really love how you have added the fleur de lis element to label 14. Fleur de lis is just one of my favorites, and I am so glad that spellbinders has introduced so many fleur de lis die sets this past release. Can’t wait until they arrive.

Becca- your blog is the highlight of my day. When I see your beautiful art work, I get a high, mostly because of how beautiful your work is, but also because you make it easy for us to try and copy your creations. I just finished watching your bow tutorials and can’t wait to try it myself. Thank you for bringing so much beauty, knowledge, and grace into our lives. God bless you. <

Becca thank you for sharing this. It’s lovely. Your card is beautiful. I love all your ideas on using your Nesties. I have so many and I like to use them as much as possible. I have a lot of moolah invested in them. Worth every penny because of all the great things you can do with them.
I want you to know I am still praying for God to help you through everyday life. Cast your cares upon him.

Your card is just gorgeous! THANKS SO MUCH for the marvelous tutorials. I tried the rolled flower recently and it was so easy since I could follow your simple instructions. I have also tried this technique but just used a straight running stitch. Next time I will use your version and I’m sure with more success.
