I Live by Faith
Posted by Becca Feeken on Wednesday, January 21st, 2009
My card today uses the sentiment from another of the newly released sets from Our Daily Bread Designs called He Is Risen. I pulled the beautiful filigree crosses from this set. The crosses are mounted on deckled edged cuts from Spellbinders Small Deckled Rectangles and they fit perfectly on Spellbinders Classic Rectangles, Large. Each cross is smudged with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink and embellished with a single crystal. To balance off the upper cross trio I cut one Spellbinders Label Four Die, outlining the inner rim with a fine line marker and smudging with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. Pretty simple to put together and of course the scripture is a beautiful one.
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs; He is Risen, Cross of Christ
Paper: Prima, Bazzill
Ink: Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders Label Four Die, Spellbinders Small Deckled Rectangles, Spellbinders Classic Rectangles Large, Satin Ribbon, Crystals, Martha Stewart Edge Punch

I absolutely LOVE this verse and you have showcased it wonderfully!!! Those new nesties are great! Just love how your faith shines so brilliantly through your work. Blessings to you :)
Simply Stunning, as always!
Some may think you post too much?? I cannot wait to see what is coming next. I am disappointed when I have to wait for something new. I am never disappointed at what I see. GREAT JOB.
This is so beautiful!!!!! I would LOVE to have it in a frame hanging in my home!
This card almost brought tears to my eyes–the message, and the beauty of the art work is just stunning. Thanks for sharing your heart and your talents.
Becca, I love it and it is so beautiful!!! You could never post too much! I could look at your cards 20 times a day!! LOL!!!
So lovely and the verse is awesome.
Hugs from Michigan
Absolutely STUNNING!!!!!!
What a gorgeous card. I love this sentiment also. Your work is always beautiful. I don’t think you post too much. I enjoy all your posts.
Your work is absolutely gorgeous…ALL of it! And please, don’t let it bother you that you lost a reader. I tend to take it a little personally as well, but we are all just doing what we can do. I look forward to every post, and you could NEVER post too much for me! :-)
I love your posts, please keep this coming! You always do such a fabulous job.
I have only been learking around your site for a few days; but everyday I can hardly wait to turn on the computer to see what you are going to surprise us with! I don’t think you post too much…as scripture reads when it’s for you it’s for you; and this is for you…this is your gift! I can hardly wait for the book : )
God Bless…..can hardly wait until tomorrow for something new!
This card is incredible. I love it, the verse is beautiful and the crosses, well the entire design is awesome. As far as posting too much, I don’t think so. I look forward to your posts and seeing your inspiring creations every day. Please don’t stop.
So elegant Becca, just awesome!!!
Becca—–you are our gift —-and we all are inspired by your talent. Today you may have lost an individual for their own reasons, but you have also gained a greater following. We are truly blessed to have you in our lives
You could post five times a day and I would WELCOME every one! Beautiful card, and lovely use of the new dies.
wow!!!! is that ever gorgeous!!
This card is absolutlely BEAUTIFUL!! I love it. Great job. Keep sharing for us blog addicts ;-)
This new set looks wonderful and I love what you created with it! This is one of my favorite verses!
Becca. you can’t please all of the people all of the time. Just let it go. That person might have had a bad day, a spat with hubby, cut off in traffic, trouble at work, who knows. This is their loss. All of us appreciate the time that it takes for you to create AND share the details. I actually “stalk” my email until I see one from you!!!
Your creativity is beyond compare and the choice of colors and embellishments are so, so professional. Keep those posts comming, Girl Friend!!!
Becca,
I agree with Shawna, I think this should be framed and hung on the wall. We need these Words before us. It is very beautiful. I look forward each day to see your new creations. God Bless.
Love your card. Those sentiment from newly released sets from Our Daily Bread Designs and those Spellbinders Dies are fantastic. Your creativity in making these cards makes me want to order them all. Only problem I don’t have the talent you do. OH well I can dream. Keep up the good work. God Bless
Yours is the one blog I anticipate each day. Each creation is a work of art, and you are so generous with ideas. You could never post too often for me.
Becca, I don’t think you post too often. I look forward to your posts like many others. Your work is something that is very much enjoyed. Keep up the good work!
Becca….absolutely astounding! This card actually took my breath away for a minute….thanks for sharing!

Your cards are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Where do you get those beautiful satin ribbons and how wide are they?
I love this card! It dazzles my soul. Thanks for sharing. (Oh don’t open my link as my blog is messed up right now. Sorry..)
So very lovely Becca. I just can’t get enough of your designs.
Don’t stop creating until God calls you to Glory, Becca….we need you to inspire us every day with wonderful scriptures wrapped up in layers of paper and strands of ribbon tied together with the love of God shining through. We’re all grateful to you.
Beautiful work. Your ribbons are always so perfect.
This is absolutely stunning.
I too have only found you during the last week and I can’t wait to turn on my computer each day.
I have ordered two new sets of Spellbinders from the US and can’t wait for them to arrive, you are so inspiring.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving this lady the will to craft….I am just getting over major surgery for knee replacement and am a bit down.
I can’t get enough of your beautiful work it is awe inspiring.
Bless you.
Becca - this truly touched my heart! Thank you for sharing. I look forward to checking your blog every day! For me, the way your cards touch my heart, this is one of your God given ministries! Thank you!
Beautiful card.
Once again, your card creation is not only drop dead gorgeous, but has also touched my heart. Thank you for sharing your art and for starting my day in such a wonderful way. Blessings always.
Just beautiful!
Becca,
That is just BREATHTAKING!!!!!
Have a great day,
~~Diane~~
This is just beautiful Becca. Love your work
Beautiful! …and so uplifting. I always admire your use of satin ribbon, and your perfectly tied bows.
Your talents are truly a gift from God!! God Bless You
Becca, this is truly a work of art. It is so very inspiring. I love this verse. What a beautiful, stunning piece of work. I look forward every day to see what you have done. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you for the blessings you have bestowed on us.
Becca your card is beautiful, I love seeing what you’ve made each day. Thank you for sharing your faith, gifts and talents with us, I’m inspired with each card you make. I’m sorry you lost someone, but it is truely their loss. I look forward to peeking in on you very soon. Hugs, Jan
Wow! This is absolutely stunning! I absolutely love it!I love the nesties you used on this card, the gorgeous ribbon, and the adhesive crystals. Great job! I can’t believe you lost a reader because ‘you post too much’. I post everyday on my blog! You could never post too much for me!
This is a beautiful card. Love looking at your work and the talent God has give you.
Becca,
Your card is so beautiful. I always look forward to seeing your cards and your talent. I have never felt like you post too much. If anything you inspire me.

Oh Becca, You could NEVER post to much! You are the light I seek each day when I first get on the computer! You always lift me up with the word of God and no matter how down I am I end up with a smile because I am once again reminded that I am a child of God!!!! You have no idea of how many people you are touching with your beautiful cards which I know is a gift from God! Thank you for every post you make because somewhere another soul is being touched!!!!!!!!!
Becca, I love your work, I look forward to seeing what you post everyday. I think you shouldn’t worry about that one person who choose to not be happy. The bottom line is that you can’t please everybody all the time. The good thing is that you have a huge following that can’t wait to check your site to see what you’ve created for the day. God has given you a gift that you’ve used to declare your love and faith for Him beaufully.You are amazing, don’t change anything unless God instructs you to.

This is so beautiful! If I had it I would frame it and put it in my living rooms so I could look at it all the time!
WOW WOW WOW!!! Incredible yet again- I so wish I had a tiny portion of your talent.
Becca,
I have been following your creations for approximately four months; I was so excited when I first saw your beautiful classic designs I couldn’t wait until the next day to see what you revealed.
I don’t usually post any comments however; as I have been inspired day after day, week after week, and month after month by your consistently outstanding creativity. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your work and labor of love, and that I feel I’ve stepped up a notch in my cardmaking endeavors in part because of you.
Your cards are a total delight for my eyes…I enjoy the color combinations, layouts, and overall designs. Awesome! I, also, wanted to let you know how much I enjoy the Amazing Quotes and the Tutorial sections.
Thanks for sharing some of the gifts our Heavenly Father has given you.
Warmest Regards, PattyG
Becca, this is stunning!! What a gorgeous piece of art!! WOW! And you can never post too much imho. Keep ‘em coming!!
I just love this card, but I love all your cards. You are truly an inspiration and please keep sharing your God given talent. You could never post too much for me. It is because of your creations I found Our Daily Bread Designs.
Hi Becca, I agree with the others….keep those posts coming, you can’t do too many for me. About your one lost reader….I assume that she has unsubscribed to your blog?? Not to worry…how do you know that she is not still just peeking in every day the old fashioned way by just pulling up your site? Hugs and keep up the good work. Linda
I love your beautiful creations….and I certainly don’t think you post too much. If I did, I would click on “delete” and not read that day!!! As for me…I wish you would post MORE!
An absolutely stunning card!! And I love your blog just the way it is!
Well, THAT seems like a silly reason to unsub! Maybe you should send them over to me (I’ve hardly posted since early Dec) so they don’t have to work so hard to keep up! lol
Anyhow, I just love the feel of this card. The colors remind my of the pews in my Grandma’s old church - feels very warm to me. *hugs*
Gorgeous, Gorgeous creation Becca! Hugs! :)
I love seeing all of your gorgeous designs. Thank you for all your hard work!
Beautiful, love the colors and the use of the gems, wonderful verse to go with the crosses!
It is indeed amazing paper craft! God has bless you with much talent!
I love this verse and the card is beautiful.
God bless
This card is gorgeous and I love these colours!
P.S. You do not post too much!
Oh wow! I love this card, and I love that cross stamp. Absolutely beautiful!
Lisa A.
I love the colors. Are you moving from Green/Blue?
Oh, dear! I love coming to see your beautiful and inspiring creations. This is so rich and deep and meaningful. Stunning, but soothing. You work from the heart and do what feels right, and your sincerity shines through. Thank you for being your sweet, wonderful self.
Becca, this is another beautiful card you created and I thank you so much for sharing. I don’t often post a comment, but please know that all of your posts are very inspiring and I look forward to them so much! Please continue to bless us all with your talents, and don’t be discouraged by the negative people who try to bring down your spirits. You are truly talented and gifted, and thanks again for your wonderful blog!
Something beautiful !!!!
What a beautiful blog - your card is out of this world!
another beautiful card so warm
Hugs
Norine
This is gorgeous!! I love the colors you used for this as well.
Hi Becca, first let me tell you how very much I enjoy your blog & all you post on it. I look forward to it every day. I wouldn’t care how much you post as I love looking at all you do to inspire us with your talent and creativity. You truely are a gifted person in many ways. Thank you for that.
Now, onto how I feel about some people…. There will always be someone who visits your blog who doesn’t like it for one thing or another and they are the ones who just like to blog hop and click their mouses fast just to get your card for that day. They just want the design & then on to the next. What they don’t know is just how much they are missing if they don’t read your complete post for that day. So, I say move forward and like you stated…There are many others taking her place. Please keep up the great blogging! You amaze me with your beautiful cards!!!
Hi Becca you can never post too much as far as I’m concerned, your work is amazing, all your cards are stunning! xx I visit every morning to see what wonderful creation you have created! xx
I enjoy your posts and look forward to each and everyone. I find your cards beautiful and inspiring. Your faith, compassion, and kindness, as well as creativity shine through your posts and they inspire more than your cards. Altogether a beautiful experience.
Becca you could post twice a day and I would be very happy! I look forward to the weekdays when I can enjoy both your work and your words on my work breaks. You go girl!
hopefully your “unsub” person will use google reader or some other such reader … I’ve unsubscribed to all the blogs I used to use - and let folkes know it was because I decided to use a reader pgm to access updated blogs … saved so much time!
love your stuff - thanx for being a constant source of inspiration!
Beautiful!!!! Love it.
I think your work is gorgeous and truly inspirational! Thank you for sharing it with us.
I also try to visit first thing each morning…I love this site and the stunning beauty that comes out in it
