Call To Me

Oh happy weekend blog friends!!  It’s busy at my house but I sat down long enough to pull a card together.    Try as I may to adjust and edit, the ink on my sentiment is a peachy color but it looks hot pink in my picture and I have no clue why.   I resisted hanging on tightly to anything in my comfort zone except the pearls, lol!!   The paper I used has a little square motif on it so I put a teenie, tiny pearl in the center of each motif.  I pulled one of the new Our Daily Bread Designs sets called Bird Border and Corners.  The ground and the bird on the branch are separate stamps and I love that because you can adjust them to fit your situation!  So I inserted a sentiment from Scripture Collection 5 into the scene.

I cut/embossed half of Spellbinders Grand Labels Four as my main focal panel and layered Spellbinders Floral Doily Accents on top for my sentiment.  Up in the corner I put one of the elements from Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Motifs just to add a splash of color.  I layered on pearls, lace and a flower to finish off.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Bird Borders and Corners, Scripture Set 5
Paper: American Crafts, Expedx White Cardstock
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Colorbox Rose Pastel Chalk Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders Grand Labels Four, Spellbinders Floral Doily Accents, Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Motifs, Lace, Pearls

Thanks for stopping by, I hope your weekend is glorious!!

    I understand totally what you mean by the ink color looking “off” between the actual card and the photo — not sure why that happens either, but we know it really matches perfectly IRL!!! ;-) Beautiful card, Becca!!!ReplyCancel

    Wow, Becca, this is lovely, but how do you ever mail a card with these beautiful 3D flowers on it? I guess you use a box so they won’t get crushed???????ReplyCancel

  • Judy McMullenApril 9, 2011 - 12:19 pm

    Beautiful! Love all the pearl accents! Oh, I find it so annoying when a picture I take doesn’t show the true colors. I’ll just visualize your awesome scripture sentiment in peach, one of my most favorite colors!!ReplyCancel

  • Jackie PApril 9, 2011 - 12:50 pm

    <> that is the sound of my head banging on my desk. I passed up that set of doily accents the last week on a really great deal thinking I would never use that – figured it was to small for anything!!!!!! That card is really beautiful.

  • lois skiathitisApril 9, 2011 - 6:34 pm

    Cameras and printers and such always change things. They have a hard time with certain colors and they also have a hard time showing glitter. Your card is very pretty. Love all of the lace and flowers. It’s a breath of spring. As always Becca. TFS!!! :-DReplyCancel

  • Rachel BrooksApril 9, 2011 - 6:48 pm

    Love the card. You don’t say anything about the little roses under the quote. They look like they could be Becca ribbon flowers. LOVE the pearl accents. Are they all self adhesive or do you have to glue dot them or something to make them hold? Enjoy the weekend!ReplyCancel

  • Edna BurgessApril 9, 2011 - 10:07 pm

    Very Beautiful from the stamps, to the corner die, to the lace and paper and pearls. EdnaReplyCancel

  • Ginny IngramApril 9, 2011 - 10:48 pm

    I love how you’ve used lace as a border on this card. I keep forgetting to pull mine out and try to use it on my own cards, but I guess since it’s with my sewing supplies, I don’t think about it. This is a lovely card, especially all those pearls! I especially like the Scripture verse you chose to use.ReplyCancel

    Becca, I follow your blog all the time and I know nothing personally of Etsy. What I do know is someone as naturally talented as you should definately check it out and give others the oppoturnity of owning some of your lovely creations. By the way, you inspire me everyday. I do not have a blog but maybe one day I will. Keep your inspiring work coming!

    BECCA BECCA I DID NOT KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DISCUSSING BUT
    LOOKED IT UP. WITH THE CARDS YOU MAKE, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU WOULD BE SPENDING EVERY MINUTE MAKING MORE AS I AM SURE
    THEY WOULD SELL THE MINUTE YOU PUT THEM UP. WOULD YOU
