The Mighty Ages

 


Hi there blog friends.  My daughter is getting me out of the house today so this is short and sweet.  This card came together so quickly and is easy enough that I was able to write the directions without having to write a book, lol!! I picked one of my favorite colors, this aqua, turquoisey, green blue and it’s actually different than yesterday although the camera didn’t seem to think so.  Also I’m using one of the new Our Daily Bread Designs sets called Eternity.   I almost wish that I had added one more accent color but I was done before realized it.  So, at the last minute I added the darker pearls for a little punch of color.  Yes, that is a Peg Bow – I think I’m addicted to them!


HOW IT’S MADE
1. Make Card Base – mine is 6″ x 6″
2. Make matted layer that is 5.5″ x 5.5″ with design paper slightly smaller.  Adhere with foam tape.
3. Create medallion using Fleur de Lis Rectangles. Adhere with foam tape.
4. Add Fleur de Lis Doily Motifs with Labels Eighteen, pair adhered.  Mount with foam tape.
5. Add Standard Circles LG, adhere with foam tape
6.  Add stamped sentiment on Standard Circles SM adhere with foam tape.
6. Add Fleur de Lis Accents on sides of top circle – adhere with glue dots.
7. Tie bow.  Add pearls
SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Eternity
Paper: Pink Paislee – 365 Degrees, Bazzill
Ink: Ancient Page – Deep Harbor
Accessories: Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Rectangles, Spellbinders Labels Eighteen, Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Doily Motifs, Spellbinders Standard Circles LG, Spellbinders Standard Circles SM, Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Doily Accents, Ribbon, Pearls

Have a wonderful weekend sweet friends!!

    Dear Becca
    Your card is beautiful and I love the blue shades.
    Please may I suggest to you that all your cards that you display on this have that simple step by step guide to making it. That would be great.
    Enjoy your time with your Daughter its special.

    i love this card. the colors and the embellishments go so well together, but what is the turquoise bow all about? it really doesn’t match the feel.ReplyCancel

  • Jeanielou KaufmanMarch 5, 2011 - 7:41 pm

    I am a day late in commenting but just must. I dearly love this card. And you were hurried to make it. It is a priceless piece. I love the saying, how very true.
    Hugs, JeanielouReplyCancel

  • paulaMarch 6, 2011 - 6:08 pm

    this is gorgeous Becca – I love how the colour of the bow illuminates the card – its so vibrant in contrast to the other tones and shades of blue on the card…I think its wonderful.

    Again, you have shown that super creativity in putting together those die shapes. I’ve learned so much from you, it has completely changed the way I create cards. And, because of you, I’ve fallen in love with everything “Spellbinders”. I love your layout, and I get so inspired by you! Thank you!ReplyCancel

  • Karen LinarezMarch 9, 2011 - 2:03 pm

    Becca, I love your layout. Again, you have shown that super creativity that makes all your cards so stunning. I get so much inspiration from you and have learned so much that it has completely changed the way I create. And, because of you, I have fallen in love with all things “Spellbinders”. (You should be getting a kickback, lol!) Have a gret day, Becca!ReplyCancel

  • Marvel BurrMarch 16, 2011 - 7:13 am

    Hi Becca!! Another beautiful card!! Aqua is so pretty! I was wondering if you have a source for envelopes for your 6 x 6 cards, or if you make all of them with a template, or just what you do?? I tend to make 6 x 6 cards, too, but am having a difficult time trying to make envelopes for them. Thanx for any info you can provide.
