I’m indeed praying your day is filled with joy . . . I know that mine is. It’s an added bonus that spring is on the way!! I wanted to share a quick card with you that uses one of the March releases from Our Daily Bread Designs. The set I used is called Easter Blessings and has this gorgeous Lilly of the Valley that I colored with Copic Markers. On top of my cut design paper I added Spellbinders™ Jumbo Borderabilities® Petite and topped that with a Martha Stewart Border Punch. Then for the focal image, after I colored with Copic Markers and distressed with Antique Linen Distress Ink, I cut it from Spellbinders™ Labels Eleven, raised it on Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG and embellished it with one of the companion pieces from Spellbinders™ Lattice Pendants.
My friends won’t believe this, but this was a quickie made from scraps. No, you don’t understand . . . I could easily spend more than an hour just picking the paper. My DD is spending time with me this evening so this was a "git ‘er done" kind of card. Here are the copics I used:
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Easter Blessings
Paper: The Paper Company, Bazzill, K & Co.
Ink: Blue Dye Based Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Jumbo Borderabilities® Petite, Spellbinders™ Labels Eleven, Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG, Spellbinders™ Lattice Pendants, Martha Stewart Border Punch, Pearls, Ribbon

I have a million things that I’m dabbling in and heaven help me I went into the quilt store today – you’ll see. For the past couple of nights I’ve also hit up some of my "go to" sites that had fonts, brushes and digital paper on sale (another addiction that I’ll explain later). ScrapnFonts.com had an excellent St. Patty’s Day Sale everything being $1.00 (that doesn’t happen often) and their sister site LetteringDelights.com had a similar sale – the neat thing that I didn’t know about the latter site is they now tell you everything you own so that you don’t buy it again. Gosh, I think they had me in mind because I have quite a collection from them and have purchased a couple of things twice. The other thing is I’m obsessed with flowers and have picked up quite a few supplies to make my own — you’ll see, you’ll see! But I digress, more on these things later!!
Oops I almost forgot to share . . we have a winner for the JustRite Blog Candy!!

Hi Becca ~ God has definitely blessed you with an incredible talent and it’s wonderful that you share it with all of us! I also love that you’re a child of God, as I am, and are willing to share that you are and God’s Word with others!
My dream set for JustRite Stamps is actually something I emailed to them back in January…I would like to see a set that is more generic for gift-giving with wording such as “For You” and/or other similar wording (”Especially For You”, “Just For You”). I use these for the packaging I do when I make and sell handmade gifts. I would also like to see it designed for more than just women and girls. I need these for children (different ages) – especially for boys – and for men. I haven’t seen a lot of attractive masculine stamps at the different stamp companies. I like a lot of different styles and this could be done a lot of different ways, but I can definitely see it in a classy, old-fashion style, for example, antique toys for children. I hope this information helps! ~ Kathy
Kathy please reach out to me through my contact page to accept and give me your address and we’ll get your goodies on the way!
Whew, that was a long post! Cheerio – see you tomorrow!
This is beautiful Becca! TFS
How elegant! You have such a knack for putting together the right colours and embellies. I love the vellum layer to soften the background. It really make the front embellies show up so nicely.
Thanks for sharing! :o)
This is beautiful! You inspire me to use pearls more often for embellishments.
Absolutely GORGEOUS! Your cards are very inspiring! I’ve started using pearls because of you, too!
Pretty card! Very elegant!
Beautiful card- even without ribbon! Love it!
NO RIBBON??? The card is BEAUTIFUL. You are such an inspiration!
I am really a scraper but I admire your cards everyday. They give inspiration! Thanks for the beauty.
no ribbon, what up? oh, i see a faux ribbon, close but no cigar. no really this is so pretty. i love how you combined pretties. i just love seeing what you come up with all the time. i don’t know how you can remember where the stuff comes from or what punch is what. my shopping list would be soo much smaller if you didn’t have so many great uses and cute ways to improve upon the basics. thanks for sharing all of your cards.
AMEN!!! Your design is gorgeous Becca, it stands on its own, no need for ribbon!
You are so creative with all of your card ideas.
Very elegant and pretty! Thanks for so much inspiration and fun this week, Becca!
I’m sure there is a better word than “card” for your works of art! I would plaster them all over my craft room if I had them! They are always an inspiration and so lovely!
Just love it, you are a girl after my own heart with the pearls. I can never put enough on. Glad I don’t live near a pearl factory.
Becca,
Another stunner.
Have a wonderful weekend girlfriend

Amazing Paper Grace! You are such an inspiration to all of us. Just maybe I could copy this card since I don’t have a ribbon to contend with. God bless and have a great day.
This is exquisite, Becca, as always…God Bless…

This beautiful……thank you for sharing..
Beautiful Beautiful!! Love the calmness of the colors
Lovely card! I love the way the Happy Easter Blessings comes through the vellum.
Such a beautiful card; love the elegance of the dies and pearls; the vellum adds such a soft, subtle touch. Gorgeous!!!
Your work is so amazing! It makes me want to buy everything you use even though I know I will never use it myself. Thanks for so freely sharing your talent and creativity.
Gorgeous, Becca! I love the way you used those dies!
Another gorgeous card- you have a fabuous eye for color and love the layout and LOVE the Vellum layer- so soft and elegant!
Becca, this card is beautiful. I love it. I will have to buy that cuttlebug ornamental die.
Another beautiful card…those embellishments seem to be made for each other. One of my many blessings that I thank God for is that I’m spared headaches…very rarely do I have one. Good genes, I guess. I know others who suffer migraines (which is more than a headache, I understand), and I’m glad you’re feeling better. Take good care of yourself.
you never cease to amaze!
Becca as usual – This is stunning. Love the embellishments
Becca, I am happy to see you are feeling better. The card is awesome. As always, the attention to detail is amazing. I particularly like the verse. VERY beautiful.
PS…after going back and admiring your card again, I noticed the stitching. Thanks to you and the ladys over at the Justrite blog, I finally broke out my expensive sewing machine and stitched some paper last night. I a m in awe what this does to the card. Now to explain to the hubby why I am sewing paper and not clothing. LOL…
Glad you’re feeling better, Becca! Wow, does anyone have more dies or punches than you??? I don’t believe so — and you always know just the perfect ways to combine them! Gorgeous card!!!
Another gorgeous card Becca. I look forward to seeing each new creation and they never disappoint – but I always seem to add another craft item to my wishlist …. that’s 2 more today!!!
Glad you’re feelimg better. tfs

OMG! No ribbon! She is ill. LOL. I’m glad your feeling better. Stunning card as always.
Lovely Becca!
Hugs, Candy
Hi Becca, Stunning card, no surprize there. I know you work very hard at putting these treasures together.
Thank you for taking the time to share with us, PattyC.
It gorgeous Becca. Those die cuts are just wonderful. No ribbon! I hope that wasn’t to difficult for you LOL!!! I think the dainty scroll work stands alone by itself just perfectly, and the pearls add a nice finishing touch. As always TFS!!! :-D
Becca
Absolutely beautiful . . . as always!
Thx
What a neat idea to have vellum over the stamped words and the die are terrific. I like ideas of flourishes that are flat for mailing. Thanks, Becca.
GORGEOUS, Becca!!!
I love the way the you have placed the banding on the card over and under the flourish. Great color combination too. Love this card.
Nicely done!
Loverly…..
That cuttlebug ornamental iron die is just as pretty as if you’d used ribbon! I love it! Just another fabulous card. I so love checking your blog for inspiration, but also when I just need to see some beauty.
Wow – so dramatic! I was not aware of the ornamental iron die and will now look for it….so striking!
Beee-you-tee-ful
Even though there’s no ribbon, it still looks like a Becca card! Very lovely. I’ve most of what you used here, how come mine never look like this? LOL!
R/
With all the frilliness, I completely missed the lack of ribbon! Now if it was missing ribbon AND pearls. . . . !!!
I just love the dies that you used. You always find so many unique ways to use products. I LOVE this card!!
Thank you so much!!
