Greetings!  Today I’m sharing a card made with a lovely new set from Flourishes called Dove and Holly.  The shading laid in by the artist makes it a joy to color.  My card is essentially flat and functions as a pocket card.   Actually it started out being a band around the card that got quite large and worked itself into being the pocket.  

The card is colored with Tombow markers and the edges are smudged with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distess Inks.  The pocket is cut with Martha Stewart Deep Edger Floral Vine Punch and the vellum overlay is hand embossed with Anna Griffin brass stencils.   The top edge of the pocket is cut with EK Success Scalloped Scallop Border Punch and embellished with pearls.    I feel like this format works really well when your stamped image is large.  By setting it up with the pocket I could still have the large focal panel yet have other decorative elements on the card as well and they all have the opportunity to be seen.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Flourishes – Dove and Holly
Paper:  K & Co., Bazzill, Pergamano Translucent Vellum, 140lb Strathmore Watercolor Paper
Ink:  Versafine Black Onyx, Antique Linen Distress Ink, Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Accessories:  Martha Stewart Deep Edger Floral Vine Punch, Pearls, Ribbon, Tombow Markers, Anna Griffin Brass Embossing Stencils, Clear Embossing Powder, EK Success Scalloped Scallop Border Punch

Thanks for stopping by :-)  Hoping you find joy today!

    Exquisite!! Your closing remark is you hope we find joy today. Becca, you give “us ” joy by sharing your marvelous talent!! I am sure you lift many people’s spirits every day who do not post a comment. Your coloring also proves people can do beautiful coloring with Tombows too.ReplyCancel

    Becca:
    You are just a friend that I haven’t met! Your talent is off the chart. I get inspiration from you, but when it comes to the ribbon…..you fill in the blank.

    My talent with ribbon is over or under, not good with bows.

    I hope you realize how much your ribbon talent amazes crafters like me.

    God bless and have a great day!ReplyCancel

If you are curious what happened to me yesterday, click HERE.  If you are looking for the ODBD Blog Hop Contest post, click HERE. 

Good Morning friends!  Today I’m sharing a new release from Quietfire Design – just in time for Christmas (*wink*).   Suzanne has put together an incredible collection of Quietfire Christmas Designs for 2009 and they’re special enough to command the front of a card but look just as stunning on the inside of the card.  For this card I’m using a new sentiment called Hold on to the Spirit of Christmas – it’s just dazzling.  This beauty is hand penned personally by Suzanne Cannon (you know that just amazes me)!

For the card I created a medallion using Spellbinders Petite Ovals Small, Spellbinders Petite Ovals Large and Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Ovals Large.  This medallion is nestled on top of Spellbinders Scalloped Edge Frame which is a lovely frame.  It was pure serendipity to see the result of lacing the frame with 1/4" ribbon.  The only matching ribbon I had was the large ribbon so I tied a bow on the side.  All my layers are smudged with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Quietfire Design – Hold on to the Spirit of Christmas
Paper:  Cosmo Cricket – Wonderland, The Paper Company – Cream White
Ink:  Versafine Sepia, Antique Linen Distress Ink
Accessories:  Spellbinders Petite Ovals Small, Spellbinders Petite Ovals Large and Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Ovals Large, Spellbinders Scalloped Edge Frame, Ribbon, Pearls

I hope you are well into a glorious week!

(After God that is). thank you for sharing all the talent God has given you with all of us we certainly appreciate it. Our husbands are not to fond of you, we keep spending more and the stamps, ribbon, markers and such are beginning to take over. We do pray that the companies you work for understand how much influence you have and show you that in some tangible way. For now we are happy to see you again.ReplyCancel

I absolutely love the elegance and work you put into your creations and it just pushes me that much more to try and be better and be more creative. I used to be a copy cat but since my “meeting” you, I think I am learning to go my way also. Thank you ever so much for all you do and all your inspiration. God, indeed, did bless you.ReplyCancel

    Oh my gosh, this card is so pretty that I was wishing I could reach up to my computer monitor and pick it right off the screen to keep. I love how you weaved the ribbon in with the punched border.

    So sorry you had blog site problems the other day. I wondered what was going on, but then figured it was just a problem that you would have taken care of in a day or two. How frustrated you must have been.

    Well, I am off to look at your next creation, I’m a little behind on my blog browsing again (dog gone house work gets in the way)
