Faith is . . .

How true is that sweet sentiment?   It’s one of the new releases this month from Flourishes called Timeless Quotes.   The Spellbinders Labels Four die is a beautiful way to showcase this sentiment.  I cut/emboss each frame by using two of the templates at together, secured to the magnetic spacer that came with my Wizard.  The piece left over from cutting the frame, the smaller Labels Four Die cut, was used for my stamping.  The frames and the Labels Four diecut are popped up – that gave me ample room to intertwine the ribbon through the back.  (Hint: No special ribbon tying involved here – the ribbon on the die cut is a piece of ribbon tied separately!  Easy!!).

Buttons topped with pearls are the final embellishment for the card.   I chuckled as I made this card because it was easier making myself use this Basic Grey – Sugared – especially after everyone weighed in here about their paper hoarding *grin*!

Card Recipe:
Stamps – Flourishes – Timeless Quotes
Paper – Basic Grey – Sugared, Bazzill
Ink:  Colorbox Merlot embossed with Clear Embossing Powder
Accessories:  Spellbinders Labels Four, Ribbon, Buttons, Pearls

It’s been a pleasure reading your comments this week – you all are quite the funny bunch!!

    Another ‘quietly’ beautiful card Becca. The verse is so encouraging – the die cuts frame it superbly and the pearls on the buttons a lovely touch. The ribbon is fantastic as always.

    Hi Becca!! Have you read the book by Stormie Omartian, ” Just Enough Light For The Step I’m On” ?! One of the many reasons I love your cards, is that they cause me to think about Gods’ Word, His beautiful Scriptures. How precious they are. Your cards are breathtakingly beautiful!!! IRIS, SAVED BY GRACE!!!ReplyCancel

  • Linda S. in NEMarch 26, 2009 - 4:10 pm

    Oh Becca, As soon as today’s card popped up on my screen, my first thought was, “Oh My Goodness…..Becca has been CURED!” I recognize that paper as some that has “hoardability” written all over it. Keep up the good work!! Maybe we can “cure” this disease. I know,…….maybe we could start a “paper” ribbon campaign……..Well, I guess that wouldn’t work because to make our ribbons look good enough to wear, we would have to use our BasicGrey, Cosmo Cricket, Little Yellow Bicycle, K & Co., and on and on…….so you KNOW that is not going to happen!! Oh Well, lead us on, we can only do our best!! Linda S. in NEReplyCancel

    Exquisite as always Becca. Thanks for letting us in on your ribbon “trick”. It may have lessened the mystique but it got me thinking maybe I could be less ribbon challenged than usual :D.

    Had a composition thought. Did you try placing the half pearls on a diagonal in the corner to mimic the slant of the frame? Just curious if it didn’t look as good as it seems to in my mind when I think about that type of placement.
