It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC7)!!!! This week Cindy Haffner is hosting. She is challenging us to use ribbon. You may think ribbon? I use ribbon all the time. Of course, you do!!! We all do!!! I mean there are just so many ribbons out there to choose from. There are lace, organdies, ric rac, satin, twill, and grosgrain just to name a few. Then, there are polka dotted, printed, and stitched patterns to be had. And, if that is not enough, many of these come in different widths. Like I said, there are just so many to choose from. However, you may only use a certain type of ribbon all the time yet you hoard a boat load of others. It is time to cut those ribbons that bind you, lol!!! Try to venture from your normal comfort zone or try to use ribbon in a different way. Do not fret, though. If you are not feeling awfully adventurous, any card with some ribbon will do!!!! We would love to see what you do either way!!!
On this card I combined a couple of the elements that I love – the beautiful stamp set, the Spellbinders Flower, the wide ribbon, the vintage button, pearls and the Martha Stewart punch. I’ve been holding this card to share with you when these new sets were released and I’m so happy that they are available now!! This card was created for a class I recently taught and although it may seem like overkill, I purposely included as many of my favorite elements that are – well…me!
The wonderful flourish in the background is from a new Flourishes set called Ornamental Elements that is the epitome of the elegance and grace you’ve come to associate with Flourishes stamps. The perfectly sweet sentiment hidden on the inside says "Happiness held is the seed Happiness shared is the flower – it is another of the new Flourishes setscalled Sweet Peas. The filigree flower was created by Spellbinders Floral Accents and the leaf is from Spellbinders Sunflower One.
Here is the card recipe:
Stamps: Flourishes Ornamental Elements, Flourishes Sweet Peas
Paper: The Paper Company – Solar White, Bazzill Palo Verde, Bazzill Capers, Bazzill Bling – In the Pink, 140lb Strathmore Watercolor Paper
Ink: Palette – Landscape
Accessories: Spellbinders Sunflower One, Spellbinders Floral Accents, Martha Stewart Lattice Arch edger, Sheer Organdy Ribbon, Pearl, Silver Cord, Vintage Button
Stay tuned this week . . . I hope to be back later this week with a tutorial on how to make those corner perfectly using the Martha Stewart punch!!

Another beautiful card Becca! and a Happy New Spring to you too.
Becca,
You have been my favorite designer since I found ODBD. Your combinations of Spellbinders, Ornare and of course RIBBON is so beautiful and inspiring to me as a cardmaker.
Keep up the wonderful work while sharing your faith.
God Bless You!

Gorgeous card, Becca! Think I’m going to have to get that scallop pierceability because it’s just drop dead gorgeous on your card. Lovely! Worked out in the yard today and love to watch all the new flowers and plants springing up in our yard.

Becca,
such a pretty card! Wish I could enjoy our yard but we still have too much snow. We got several inches dumped on us on Saturday evening. Ah well, soon enough.
Wonderful as usual!
All those things you think to put together…so lovely!
so pretty, makes me want to dig out some of my old stencils :) Lovely shape.
Not surprised to find another beautiful card. I’m going to have to get on line and try and find some of the Spellbinder dies. Local shops don’t carry the whole line of Spellbinders. Got an e-mail that Spellbinders was going to be on QVC on Wednesday. Spring is here in Ohio, too. Love looking out the window at flowers in bloom.

Absolutely stunning!
Becca, that is a gorgeous card. I have not seen the edgeability templates. It certainly adds an elegant touch.
So, so beautiful Becca! I am always in complete awe when I visit your blog. Looks like I’m going to have to go shopping for more Spellbinders! Thanks for sharing your amazing talent!
Hugs
So beautiful Becca, absolutely gorgeous.

Ohhhhhhhhhh my!! This is breathtaking! Everything about it is gorgeous, Becca! I would love to step outside and take a breath of fresh spring air, except that it feels like Christmas is right around the corner! No school today, no travel advised, 6-9 inches of fresh wet snow so I am working on report cards and stamping my heart out making Easter cards! LOL Thanks for sharing that lovely card!
Gorgeous card! I didn’t think I needed that Rose die, either, but you’re making me rethink it.
What beautiful work you do. I look regularly but don’t comment every time – I DO find inspiration every time though.
TFS

Good evening, Becca. This is such a pretty card. I love how you’ve used the different spellbinder’s dies – they work so well together and, of course, your ribbon and embellishments add that final touch.
Gorgeous card!
That is so pretty. I have that Rose die ordered. Can’t wait for it to get here. Pat
How lovely! That die is incredible. I think a purchase is in the near future!
I love your work. I’d love to be a fly on the wall just to watch you play. LOL
A very beautiful design, I have some of those dies and have yet to use them. I love how you’ve inserted the panel under the floral image.
Becca simply gorgeous! I guess I will need to get that Nestie also.
