Well good day!! I wanted to share a quick and simple card I made for a couple I know that are getting married. I scrounged through my studio for these shoes that I salvaged from a card found in a clearance bin. They looked so interesting to me and I knew that for the future I could reproduce the womans shoe easily – you know how I love shoes!! I picked a Quietfire Designs sentiment to go along with the shoes. Even though I was going for a tone on tone look I stamped out the Real Love Stories sentiment in black and embossed it so the shiny text would match the mans shoe. 
Rather than put the shoes directly on the card I created a series of panels using Spellbinders Long Classic Rectangles LG, Spellbinders Mega Ovals LG and Spellbinders Mega Classic Scalloped Ovals LG. For that lovely ribbon treatment, you caught me, I was experimenting. I fashioned the rose from ribbon then ruched the ribbon across the card myself by running a gathering stitch. Hopefully when things calm down here I can show these in a Becca Bit.
| Card Recipe: Stamps: Quietfire Design – Real Love Paper: The Paper Company – Cream Ink: Versafine Black Onyx Accessories: Spellbinders Long Classic Rectangles LG, Spellbinders Mega Ovals LG and Spellbinders Mega Classic Scalloped Ovals, Ribbon |
Take care friends, I’ll be back soon!

Gorgeous . . gorgeous. . gorgeous!!!!! I love the white on white with just an accent of black. Your ribbon and flower – great added touch. Recipients will definitely be adding this card to their memory album.
I only have one question, Becca. I absolutely love all of your layering on your cards. That’s what makes them so special and lovely along with the beautiful bows. My question is – what type of envelope do you use? I know you have some amazing, creative answer for this, do tell please. Maybe you can share as a Becca Bit one of these times.
Thanks.

I know how to ruche, but man that rose is really something. Hope you’ll be sharing that as well! Hmmm. And templates for the shoes when you get a chance?
Loving your Becca Bits. I bought a bunch of MS corner punches on sale and have been trying out right-angle punching. So far I do not meet up properly when I get around to the other side, but I will perservere!

Becca – can’t believe it, but here in little ol’ England, I have the exact same pair of shoes on a Cambridge blue card headed for a lovely young couple who are being married in a Cambridge College Chapel next week!
Like you, I’ve hung onto the card for a couple of years as I knew I could make a similar shoe!
But your ivory ribbon treatment is stunning. What am I saying…? The whole card is stunning :o)
