Amazing Grace and Mother Teresa

I have two cards to share with you today.  They have been laying on my table for at least a week and Murphy’s Law was keeping me from getting them posted.  Sheesh, between blown lights, bad batteries, internet outage, lightning, web host issues and just plain ole being slam busy, Murphy and I have become good, good friends.  I sure am glad to have something to share though!  Both cards are from July releases with Our Daily Bread Designs and this one is the new Amazing Grace Single.

As a valance, along the top I used Spellbinders Grand 12" Heirloom Scroll Border (one of my favs).  It is stencilled with dye based ink and embellished with pearls.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Design – Amazing Grace Single
Paper: K & Co, Bazzill, The Paper Company – Blonde Columns
Ink:  Black Onyx Versafine
Accessories:  Spellbinders Grand 12" Heirloom Scroll Border, Ribbon , pearls

 

The next card is from one of the Our Daily Bread Design July releases called Mother Teresa – the sentiments on this set are fabulous!!  On it I used Spellbinders Foliage Frame and Spellbinders Classic Squares Large.  The card as well as all the smaller square frames are smudged with Antique Linen Distress Ink as well as Tea Dyed Distress Ink while sitting in the Spellbinders Die.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs – Mother Teresa
Paper:  NRN, Bazzill
Ink:  Versafine Vintage Sepia, Antique Linen Distress Ink, Tea Dye Distress Ink
Accessories:  Spellbinders Classic Squares Large, Ribbon, Pearls

Thanks for stopping by today.  I’ll be back a little bit later with an edit to add the recipe.

    Hi, Becca! I absolutely love all your cards! No one can even come close to your beautiful cards!
    I have a problem– I recieved my order of new Spellbinder dies and the Fleur de Lis pendant does not work well at all. It does’t cut through all the way. I tried putting carstock under the magnet matt and put it through several times in different possitions, but it never would cut all the way through. I really love this design, but it is very frustrating that it isn’t working well. The tulip pendant works great, but this one is a real problem. Did you have any problems with getting yours to cut at all? The cards you made with it are great! I would sure appreciate any help! Thanks!ReplyCancel

    Becca, you made my day. I was feeling kind of “put upon” by someone I’ve been trying to serve, and you’re cards put me and my attitude right back where they belong . Thanks for a timely reminder that was so sweetly done. I love looking at your blog each day. Your talent blesses so many of us card makers…ReplyCancel

    It has been a while since I have visited your blog because I have to work now, and stamping has been cut down, but what a surprise today was. It was like opening a gift. As I scrolled down each card became more and more beautiful. I love your design work. It is breath taking, thank you for sharing it with us. Hugs ~DonnaReplyCancel

    The cards are beautiful. I always enjoy looking at you site because I know I will find a stunning creation.
    I have tried to access OUR DAILY BREAD site for days and keep getting an error message. Has anyone else had this problem. I wanted to order the July Release stamps but have not been successful.ReplyCancel

  • BernieJuly 16, 2009 - 6:23 pm

    Becca,

    What an inspiration you are to so many! I believe that there is a reason for the stamps that you choose to use. They always get me thinking or make me questions my actions. You truly have a God-given talent.

    I, also, haven’t been able to access “Our Daily Bread Designs” either through the link on your blog or just typing the address into my browser. We are anxious to order!!

    Thanks for all you do.ReplyCancel
