I Live by Faith

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

A special thank you for my readers who are always so sweet!  There is much to come so I encourage you to continue to visit each day.  I did lose a reader today because I post too much – I always, always welcome your individual comments if there is something you feel I can do better.

    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!!!ReplyCancel

  • Kim PJanuary 21, 2009 - 10:27 pm

  • Barbara TaylorJanuary 21, 2009 - 10:27 pm

    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.

  • Patty GanserJanuary 22, 2009 - 12:10 pm

    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, PattyGReplyCancel

    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!!!ReplyCancel
