Unspeakable Gift

 


Hi there blog friends!  Peeking in with more cards today – I’ve exhausted every half-made thing I started this month but never finished, lol!  First up a card embracing purple – could it be that I’m finally okay with purple?  The card features a sentiment from JustRite Papercrafts intended for Christmas, but it’s awesome enough to use all year long from the Joy to the World Medallions set.  On my card base I’ve used Spellbinders™ Resplendent Rectangles and built up from there using Spellbinders™ Vintage Lace Motifs and a spray of flowers using Spellbinders™ Bitty Blossoms (five flowers using the medium and small die templates).

Not my normal colors but still shabby, vintage.  :-)   I’ve used natural colored coffee filters for my flowers (yes, I keep promising a tutorial and I will get to it soon).  This has become much easier for me now that I’ve experimented around a bit – I’ll be showing you the easy way :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  JustRite Papercrafts – Joy to the World Medallions
Paper: K & Company, The Paper Company
Ink: Amuse Chalk Ink, Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink
AccessoriesSpellbinders™ Resplendent Rectangles, Spellbinders™ Vintage Lace MotifsSpellbinders™ Bitty Blossoms, ribbon, corsage pins, Recollections Pearls, burlap ribbon, lace

ETA!!!!  Please go by and visit the JustRite Inspirations Blog – your mouth will literally drop open!!  The JustRite Design Team has made some “to die for creations” using my new stamp line – oh, the ideas you’re gonna get!! They’ve outdone themselves – when you’re done here, go see!!!   http://justritestampers.typepad.com/justrite-inspiration/2012/07/august-release-day-1-amazing-paper-grace-collection.html

For my next card I’m using a sweet sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs called Loving Memories.  I picked out some more shabby paper and distressed it a little bit more with Antique Linen Distress Ink.   I found that the third largest die template from Spellbinders™ Resplendent Rectangles was a good vertical fit for my sentiment.  After it was cut I added the fourth largest die template and embossed both templates together.  Keeping the smaller template in place, I added distress ink to give some color to the panel.  I backed my panel with the second largest die template from Spellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eight (trimmed vertically to fit).  

For the final decoration I added the sweet filigree piece from Spellbinders™ Frosty Forms and stenciled it with Antique Linen Distress Ink before taking it out of the die.

    Another two great-looking cards. I don’t know Becca how you easily conjure up beautiful brilliant ideas out of either new or old dies and other stuff or anything your hand gets hold of. You’re such a creative genius–one in a million.ReplyCancel

    Now you’ve gone and done it again. I had my two favourite cards topping my “Favourite all-time Becca-card list” from your last posting. Now these are my new really favourite cards. You just continue to knock my socks off. Had a peek at the JustRite cards. They did a spectacular job with your new stamp line. Congratulations Becca on all your amazing successes.ReplyCancel

    I my Gorgeous cards, I just love your flowers and the arrangement on that first card, love the touches of purple and the text leaves,
    The second has great uses of the dies and like the shabby chic feel to itReplyCancel

  • cindy ClickAugust 1, 2012 - 3:23 pm

    This is stunning!! The vintage/purple is such a lovely combination. A different style from you and I love it. Wouldn’t a sachet of lavender inside the card be cool?
    Hugs,
