Greetings blog friends, I hope you are having a wonderful family filled holiday weekend. Despite my ambitions to be extremely productive this weekend, a headache sidelined me to the sofa but the sunny side of that equation was that I got caught up on a couple of movies. I don’t do that often but I found that there’s nothing like a good laugh to vanquish a nagging headache – I literally laughed out loud through one whole silly, old movie. Thankfully this got me up and working on a card to share using one of the new sets from Our Daily Bread Designs called Count the Waves. Using a vintage panel from some Recollections paper I found recently, I tried to leave as much of the panel exposed as possible. I stamped my sentiment on Spellbinders™ Fancy Tags Two and stenciled through the template while the paper was seated and backed it with Spellbinders™Fancy Tags One. Because my layers were looking so boxy I decided to add a header using Spellbinders™ Lattice Pendants.

Simply stated this card is stunning and oh so very shabby-chic looking. Beautiful color choices. I love the whole layout. You have embellished so nicely. The next time I have a headache I’ll try laughing, so glad that it has helped you out. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Dear Becca, I agree with the other comments—Breathtaking Beautiful Card. Thank you for sharing. Blessings, Marilyn Mae
Oh those colors are beautiful! And your cards always go without saying, are the most beautiful pieces of art I’ve ever seen. Try Market America’s Isotonix OPC3 and you’ll see fewer headaches dear!

Becca, don’t ever lose the “recipe” for this card! It’s possibly my favorite one from all time! The colors are da-bomb!
LOVE that swirly white! Is that the panel of paper? It goes well with your sentiment! Makes me think of the waves swirling around! AND it’s a WONDERFUL sentiment! TOTALLY AWESOME CARD!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Becca! :)
Just a gorgeous card and the colours are beautiful. Dianne
Breathtaking, gorgeous, awe inspiring…..as are all your creations!! Whenever I see an email from Amazing Paper Grace I turn everything off so I have no distractions lol
Absolutely gorgeous Becca! I am so glad you are feeling better – nothing like a headache to bring you down! Thanks for sharing :)
So sorry that you were suffering with a headache this weekend Becca. You did the right thing. Laughter is a great medicine!
Thanks for sharing your lovely card. Those flowers are gorgeous!
So sorry to hear you suffering a headache, glad you saw a good movie to make you laugh.
Beautiful card, those flowers are stunning.
WOW gorgeous card!!! Love your flower and jewel bouquet!! Just curious what do you use to glue down your flowers and all the beautiful embellishments you put with them?
What great medicine, laughter!!!
Lovely, lovely card! I’m curious, what movie did you watch?
This is just beautiful Becca, I love it.
so inviting and comforting – is that angel hair on it Becca? or is it just part of the image on the background. So lovely….
Barbara, it is indeed Angel Hair. I’ve had it sitting aside for months wanting to use it on a card and I can’t tell you how many times over the last months I pulled it off, lol!!
Becca, it’s storming here in Buffalo, Mn… It started out to be 93 degrees today and now dropped to about 73. I’ve been on the computer looking at cards for about 5 hours, because of the storms and my headache.. I love this card that you did, your an inspirations to all of us… Lord Bless you and I hope you have a great night..
Love the earthy colors and vintage-look of this card. Simply beautiful! Many blessings!
Absolutely beautiful Becca.. love the soft colors and the quote and the layout.. your bouquet of flowers is so stunning and the colors you chose is just so remarkablely gorgeous, love the netting hidden in there.. Another winner…
Hugs, Jean
Thank you for sharing your beautiful card with us. Glad to also hear your headache was ‘laughed’ away.

Another Gorgeous card, I love the vintage beauty of this one!
Just when I think you can’t come up with something any more beautiful than so many of your cards, you do it again! This is absolutely elegant and gorgeous. God has blessed you with a supreme creative spirit.
A really beautiful card here again Becca. I just love the layers you put up on this here and I absolutely love the colors you´ve used on it too. It looks awesome. Thanks so much for sharing your gift of talent with all of us here. Have a wonderful day.
Becca I love the colors you used in this card. Very pleasing to the eye
and a little different than the pink. It sure is pretty.
your friend Cynthia
Your cards are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. I have been following your blog for about a month now – I just discovered it and I am continuously amazed at your gorgeous creativity. I love the way you explain how you make everything. I can’t wait to get some of the wonderful sentiments you use. I just think everything you make is so elegant. Thank you for all the inspiration you are to me.
I agree with all the wonderful comments on this card. It is beautiful…I guess its the colors that grabbed me as they are just about my favorites. The paper is truly a “find” with the gorgeous lilies. I, too, am wondering about the white filmy stuff; I’ve seen it before somewhere but can’t remember if it was angel hair or what.
Angel hair, eh? Who wudda thunk? Only you, of course. It’s gorgeous and adds an ethereal feel to the card. Simply stunning. Like everyone else, I love the card, its warm colours, and composition.
Nothing like a headache to take the wind out of your sails, eh. Happy to hear it’s history.
Hi Becca, Hope you are feeling better.Love your card.Just wonder how you come up with a sketch and color combo? Thanks for sharing
gorgeous! love the colors.
This is like a work of art, ready to be framed. gorgeous. Question?
Where could I purchase the ribbon you use? I have been practicing on your Bow Maker, and can see the difference in the ribbon…….thank you so much …have a good day, headache free.(they are terrible for sure)….hugs
Oh Becca this is gorgeous!!! So warm and comforting…..and elegant….tfs
Boy! I should look first. I just watched your ribbon videos and you told me the name of the ribbon and how to dye my own as well. thank you, thank you. ..
Gorgeous colour combination Becca, love the grey and peach would never have thought to put this together but, it works so well
Hugs

This is really beautiful Becca! Love the colors and all the dimensions involved. Glad to see you back at the table. I cherish the things that you do and love seeing them. Blessings!
Such an air of sophistication and beauty!! I love the smoky quality of that panel; surely something to have featured as you did. TFS!!
Beautiful card Becca, just full of warm, inviting colors. TFS Patricia
I was wondering about the flowers. Are they something you purchased or have you made them from the seam binding? They are so soft and pretty.
Lovely panel and your flowers go beautifully with it, great quote too! Hope your feeling much better, a good movie is good every now and then :)
Becca,
I love this card. The colors are so pretty and somewhat a different palette that what you usually work in. Well done!
