Hello there blog friends! Well, it’s just a tone week isn’t it? When I made my card yesterday I had a couple of other cards in progress and for all of them I was working with tone on tone. This started out being a tone on tone card, then I switched it up today and added another color, a soft color. This was the first time I’ve played around with Spellbinders™ Grand Decorative Circles One and it was the inspiration for a round 6″ x 6″ card with some patterning on the inside. Again, I wanted a touch of texture so I picked Spellbinders™ Garden Lattice embossing folder and topped the design off with Spellbinders™ Vintage Lace Motifs. The three small flowers with leaves on the edge of the card are Spellbinders™ Bitty Blooms. The sentiment is a Quietfire Design stamp from the new Happy Family Days that just happened to fit perfectly!!
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Quietfire Design – Happy Family Days Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Natural White, The Paper Company Ink: Weathered Wood Distress Ink Accessories: Spellbinders™ Grand Decorative Circles One, Spellbinders™ Garden Lattice, Spellbinders™ Vintage Lace Motifs, Spellbinders™ Bitty Blooms, seam binding, Corsage Pin, Recollections Pearls |
Since I’m on a bookmark kick, I made a matching bookmark from one of the new Our Daily Bread Designs sets and used two of their bookmark dies on the project. I simply glued one on top of the other and it actually gives it a lot of stability. Could not resist the bow, but it’s at the top and shouldn’t interfere with a thing :-)

Take care friends — today I’m inspired by a Japanese proverb — fall down seven times, stand up eight. I hope today finds you standing :-)
Very stunning and Gorgeous card.
Love the bookmark as well
OH! I just LOVE this one!!!! Soooooo pretty and lacy. And what a wonderful color blue. It really makes the lace stand out beautifully. I just love this card. And oh yes, the flowers are perfect also. This is just a lovely card!
Becca, I love your card. I think I will make one for my sisters. As soon as I think I can use my arm. Today has been a day of falling 7 times & get back up. Hope you have a great evening. With love,
I forgot to tell you, I love how you put that lace inside the Grand Circle. Very beautiful!! You rock, Becca!
Hi Becca, love this idea. say! I thought I would pass on information. I have this special book mark die from ODB. and love the set. One big thing I do is cut them out of cereal box first, and the cut the paper for the image and color. the cereal box cut gives it extra strength and support for the die. It is free, recycling the cereal box ,a not a heavy as chip board , so easier to mail. Try it, It;s been a life saver using the cereal box in many ways. OH! I place wax paper over the die if cutting a very detail die and still use the cereal box cut , then continue . Hope you try this idea. Have a good day and thanks so much for doing book marks, I love doing them. ( OH! one more thing I use the Cuttle bug and Grand Cal or cricut expression for cutting)…..hugs and smiles
Pure beauty! You inspire me.
love both these projects and your tone on tone with a hint of colour – stunning
Beautiful and gorgeous card and bookmark! Thank you for sharing your talent with us. You are simply amazing.
Your card is so elegant, so gorgeous…I love tone on tone but the addition of this soft blue is stunning…My favorite color combination…
Thank you so much for sharing…You inspire me every day with your strength and your talent…
SOOOOO LOVELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND WOW! What a NICE GIFT COMBO!!!!!!!!!! :) I Love those cards that have a little gift with it! THANKS BECCA! :)
Oh Becca, this is so beautiful. Love the TONES.
WOW – absolutely beautiful! You do such beautiful work! To be so talented . . . wish I had a third of your talent! Thanks so much for sharing with all of us.
Oh, I really, really, really love this card and the softness of the colors. Dittos on the bookmark, too. TFS The proverb made me smile….good one.
Blue and white is probably one of my favorite color combinations, and you really maxed it out in this card, Becca! Those roses are just wonderful (why do mine never look that real?) and the pale blue layer behind the white is gorgeous. You are such an artist!
Absolutely love tone on tone. It just “zings” in my book. Do you make your own stick pins? They really make your cards pop, but I have yet to find them at reasonable prices. Love the blues and those flowers are just gorgeous! You should be named Layering Queen!!!
Love these last couple of cards! I’m glad to see you working with pastel colors again. While the others are just as beautiful, I find myself drawn to the softer ones. Thanks so much. God bless you.
The card is breathtakingly beautiful and elegant!! I wish I had the materials to make one like this.
Card is so beautiful and like the bookmarks also. Edna
love how you framed the “Happy” quote
Another inspiring card. Love the soft blue with the cream. Very elegant Your combinations of dies are awesome and the card comes together so well!

Simply beautiful, Becca! Thank you so much for sharing your design.
WOW Becca, you are just what I needed this evening, a look at your soft, pretty and just all around gorgeous card!
