Francie's Fancy: March 2010

Monday, March 29, 2010

Hi to everyone! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

These are a few of the cards I have done over the last few days! Just a little behind on my blogging!

This is one I did today for Holly's Tech Challenge on SCS! We were to make a card and decorate the inside also! Fun challenge.

The beautiful images are a sneek peek of Our Daily Bread Design's "Mom"!

The lovely flowrers were stamped several times, colored using copics, cut our and popped up! The background was stippled using olive, sunshine yellow and mustard! I added a border, punched flowers, leaves and pearls to the inside!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was done for Sundays Featured Stamper Challenge on SCS! This is Brandi's card that I chose to case!

All the lovely images are new images from Rubbernecker's "Weeds and Florals"!

The dp was made using the Josephs Coat Tech!

The images on the main panel were inked using markers, huffed and stamped! The background was stippled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is to honor Pat (patsmethers) who is featured as our Queen For A Day!

The cabin and trees are Rubbernecker's Kittie Kits Cause a Scene! They were stamped and colored using copics and reinkers. I used Flower Soft for the ground coverage! The images on the bottom panel is a New Release from Rubberneckers "Weeds"! Those were colored using markers and then huffed and stamped!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This one is for Stefs Inspiration Challenge!

The ODBD Vine Borders and Scriptures 4 were stamped and then cut out using Spellbinders Nestibilities! The tiny flowers were colored using copics and then pearls were added. The cut out flowers surrounding the Nestie are from ODBD's Sing to the Lord also colored using Copics!

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Anniversary challenges and blog hop this past week!! We so enjoyed viewing all your beautiful creations and celebrating ODBD's 2 year anniversary with you!

This week the challenge team is challenging you to Think Spring and New Life! Since this is the first day of Spring, create something for spring using spring colors, sentiments and images portraying New Life. (perfect time for an Easter Creation being that we are new creatures in Christ).

Here is my sample for this challenge!

The scripture is from ODBD's newly released Scriptures 4! I framed the wonderful verse using Spellbinder's Nestibilities and added pearls. The dp is Basic Grey's "Bitter Sweet"!

Please check out what the rest of the Challenge Team has created!

We hope you will play along with us! Thanks for stopping by! Blessings!

Today, as we continue our Anniversary celebration, we are challenging you to use your all time favorite Our Daily Bread designs Set!

This is the first ODBD set that I purchased! I think it's my favorite because it so beautiful and has so many possibilities for every type of card or project.

I then added gloss to the flowers and after they dried cut them out and added the tiny pearls. The scripture was stamped on Spellbinder's lattice pendant. The lovely dp is *Spearmint* by Memorybox

Since we are celebrating the Anniversary of Our Daily Bread Designs, we will be focusing on gifts for Anniversaries. Cotton is the traditional gift for the second anniversary. Today’s challenge will be to use Cotton in some way…. stamp on cotton, use cotton ribbon, make a cotton flower… get creative.

This is my creation for this weeks ODBD2AC1 Anniversary Challenge.

The lovely Our Daily Bread Design "The Lord has Risen" was colored using Copic Markers.

The scripture was stamped and embossed using Spellbinder's Fleur De Lis Pendant. The background is a piece of cotton fabric. The butterfly was made using a Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch. I also added some crystal bling!

I took a close up so that you could see the weave of the cotton fabric that I used for the background!
