This beautiful violet stamp has been on my desk for a while so I was thankful to finish it up.  The violets are one of the recent sets from Flourishes called Sweet Violets. 

Using Tombow Markers and European Watercolor Paper, I watercolored the violets and cut them out using Spellbinders Classic Rectangle Small die paired with a gold layer cut using Spellbinders Classic Rectangle Large.  This panel rests on a pair of Spellbinders Curved Rectangles.  To ultra frame the combination I cut two Spellbinders Large Octagonswhich were offset then embellished with pearls.  To finish, I threaded a ribbon through the top and bottom of the octagons and tied a bow!

Easy Peasy!

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Flourishes –
Paper:  Bazzill, The Paper Company  – Charcoal Black, American Crafts – Gold
Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories:  Spellbinders Curved Rectangles, Spellbinders Classic Rectangle Small, Spellbinders Classic Rectangle Large, Spellbinders Large Octagons, Cllear Embossing Powder, Tombow Markers, Gold Pearls, Ribbon, McGill Word Punch,

 

Have a blessed day my friends!

    This is a beautiful card. I bought the set but have had absolutely no luck with it! I guess I don’t have the hang of acrylic stamps because it didn’t all come out even though I stamped with a piece of fun foam underneath. I will have to try again because your card is amazing.ReplyCancel

    Love this card! It’s delicate and elegant as well. Great job! I so have to get those octagons! Wish I could find shiny gold pearls ‘cuz they add so much with so little effort!ReplyCancel

Thanks so much for all the comments on my everyday cards!  I enjoyed making them because they are short, simple and sweet and I know they’ll get sent out.   Trust me, there will be more!   Today, I’m sharing a sneak peek of one of the sentiments from a new Our Daily Bread Designs set that will be released on June 1, that is called Quiet Waters.

I pulled out some of my K & Co. Blue Awning Paper and embellishments (one of my personal favorites) and cut a frame using Spellbinders Curved Rectangles.  I married that frame with my Blue Awning Chipboard frame and let it be a portal for my bow.  The sentiment is perched on a Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Oval, Small paired with a Spellbinders Petite Oval, Small.  I finished off with these sweet and pretty Hero Arts Blue Pearls that Kellie has in the ODBD store.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs – Quiet Waters
Paper:  The Paper Company – Kraft, K & Co. – Blue Awning, Bazzill
Ink:  Adirondack – Denim (Pigment)
Accessories:  Spellbinders Curved Rectangles, Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Oval, Small, Spellbinders Petite Oval, Small, Hero Arts Blue Pearls, Blue Satin Ribbon, Clear Embossing Powder, Prima Flower

I should be back tomorrow with another card, it’s sitting on my worktable almost finished.  See you then!!

I had a little bit of time today to stamp and made some every day cards to add to my collection.  So you ask what are everyday cards?  Well so many of our cards are gussied and blinged up and many of mine have big bows and are oversized.  For the most part I save oversized cards and big bow cards for boxed packages that I’m going to send – that way I don’t have to stress about making an envelope or smashing the bow.   So today my cards are regular A2 cards with low profiles that can fit into regular envies. 

I’m using a Hero Arts set of four stamps with fabulous line art flowers.  I originally was working toward having all four flowers on one card but it was simply too crowded.  Instead, I decided to do a card for each stamped flower.    Other than a small stacked medallion these are pretty simple cards.  Each image is colored with Copic Markers.

 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Hero Arts – Blossoms, Hero Arts – Sentiments
Paper:  140 lb Strathmore Bristol, Basic Grey – Urban Prairie, Making Memories
Ink:  Memento – Tuxedo Black, Memento – Bamboo Leaves, Colorbox Chalk Ink – Rouge
Accessories:  Spellbinders Labels Three, Spellbinders Classic Squares Small, Spellbinders Classic Scallop Square Small, Spellbinders Standard Circles Small, Spellbinders Tags 5, White Inksentials Pen

Take care my friends and have a thoughtful  Memorial Day.

    Do not take this wrong, because I’m such a huge fan of your work and eagerly wait to see the gorgeous creation you’ve made each day. But you know what? These a spectacular! Not ‘everyday’ in any negative way. They are lovely and made with some favorite old standby stamps that many of us still have. The layout is lovely and the colors are so fresh. I love this ‘everyday’ set. It is something even I could perhaps do. You’re the best!ReplyCancel

    Dear Becca,

    I just love coming here :) Your cards are so elegant in a class of their own! That is the cutest idea the way you have a bow going through your buttons with a little tag attached, too cute!!!

    If it weren’t for your amazing ways of using the Nesties I wouldn’t be buying so many of them – lol – not that I mind tho…. I have finally weakened and also ordered the Wizard Die Cutting Machine as a birthday present to myself. I think the impression will show more than the Cuttlebug does, can’t wait for it to arrive.

    Thank you again for always sharing your beautiful cards with us :)

    Becca – I agree with Jennifer W. I am such a fan of your work. Some of your cards are so intricate that I’m awed looking at them, but I know it’s not something I could CASE. The are gorgeous AND very do-able!

    As usual, thank you for sharing your gift with us!

    Good evening, Becca – such beautiful cards – in my humble opinion, not “everyday” at all. I love the way you’ve used your frames, and your little tags and those cute little buttons.ReplyCancel

  • Chris R. from IowaMay 25, 2009 - 3:52 pm

    Fantastic! Are you sure they will be mailable with the gorgeous ribbon and then the button with the cute tags? I really think these are just something I gotta do or have. I have a bunch of those little tags. Thanks so much for sharing – you do some amazing work!ReplyCancel

    These “everyday” cards are gorgeous! I love your built up medallions and that pretty ribbon!ReplyCancel

    Becca,

    I love these cards, really everything you do! You said you made them regular A2 size, I guess I haven’t been that observant about the “size” of the cards and thought that most were that size. Could you tell the size of (other) cards, to have an inspirations to go big! I have stayed mainly to the A2 size because I have only had the card bug for about a year now and haven’t branched out in size yet, that “box” thing! Great as always!ReplyCancel

    Becca, your work is beautiful no matter what size you do them in. I’m sure you could make an ATC, a twinchie and a inchie look awesome. Love your work.ReplyCancel

    Oh Becca..
    I tell you it’s a joy every time I come here. I love seeing cards this size as they as the size I generally make. They are so simple and so beautiful! Thanks again for sharing your awesome talent with me!

    Love them! Elegant, but easy to make! :)

    Did you just use the colorless marker to blend down the Baby Blue? I’ve been having a hard time finding a light enough blue for this kind of outline shading.ReplyCancel

  • NeenieMay 26, 2009 - 9:40 am

    Wonderful! I’m in need of just this sort of card today – the kind that doesn’t take hours to select paper, layout and “gussying up”. And one that actually fits in the envie w/o extra postage. Thanks a bunch for sharing. I’m not really into Copics so will probably use the watercolor pencils, water and blender.ReplyCancel

    Very nice work, it would be nice to have more of this type of everyday cards. I love the other more detailed cards also but have missed this type, thank you.ReplyCancel

    Becca, these are fabulous! Your works is always exquisite, but these are so wonderful for everyday use. I love the whimsical look of these lovely blossoms…do they still make this set or stamp? I love it!!ReplyCancel

  • MargMay 27, 2009 - 6:24 am

    These cards are wonderful! I have these stamps somewhere and you have inspired me to dig them out. Thank you.ReplyCancel

  • Val WMay 27, 2009 - 3:39 pm

    Becca, I love these! I want to go right to my stamp room and make my own version of these. My Mom’s birthday is coming up in June, and something like this would be perfect for her use. Thanks for the inspiration!ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca, have been peeking at your blog for a while but have always felt intimidated by your talent…..your cards are always amazingly artful and beautiful and the recipient must truly be blessed when receiving one. But I thought I would leave a comment on your ‘every day cards’ – Still intimidating and amazing to me but not quite as much as your ‘blinged’ versions…..love how you coloured them in (I almost want to go out and buy a heap of copics – but cant afford it…lol). You are a true artist!

    Just one question though…..you seem to always use the nesties on your cards – can I ask you what machine you use for them? So many lovely comments so mine may get lost :) best regards Tracy from AustraliaReplyCancel

  • Brenda MMay 28, 2009 - 4:25 am

    OH Becca……..these cards are just stunning. I have that stamp set…….I guess I will now have to pull it out. Marvelous….. Thanks so much for all your inspiration. Love your Work.ReplyCancel
