Here is my card!


The image is a sneek peek of ODBD's "Sew Special" to be released August 1st. This set is fabulous. It can be used for so many occasions. It also has it's own special die cut exclusive to ODBD! After stamping the image it was colored using copic markers and cut out using ODBD's die cut. To create the squares I stamped the card stock using the flower from ODBD's "Grow In Grace" and cut squares using Spellbinder's Lables One. The decorative panel was done using M/S punches. Gold pearls and ribbon were added!

Here is my creation!

I need Birthday Cards so I chose ODBD's "Happy Birthday"!  I think this watering can of flowers is so pretty and you can change the color of the flowers to suit the dp and c/s you decide to use! A very versatile set that can be used for any occasion! After stamping the image and coloring the image using copic markers it was cut out and framed using Spellbinder's Classic Ovals! After gluing strips of BoBunny Designer paper to cardstock, I embossed the background using a Sizzix E/F. I scored one side and paper pierced the center of the scored area. I also scored around the oval frame! Ribbon and bling were added!

This is the inside of my card!

Happy Saturday everyone!

Before I tell you about todays post, I would like to share something with you!

I  have just returned from Florida where I attended a funeral for my 22 yr old cousin. To say the least it was a heartbreaking time for our family. He was such a wonderful young man, so full of life and so loving.

So if you haven't hugged your loved ones today or called to tell them how much you love them, stop what you are doing and do it! We never know how much time we have left on this earth.

It's time for another ODBDSLC67!

This weeks challenge is to create a RED, WHITE and BLUE card or project.

To make the challenge even more fun, Our Daily Bread Designs is giving  a $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Thursday, July 14. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday. If you are not using ODBD stamps, please do not enter more than once.

Here is my card!


I chose to use one of my favorite ODBD Sets Light of the World! After stamping the image I colored it using copic markers. I used a homemade template to sponge in the clouds and added a little white acrylic paint to fluff up the clouds. The frame was done using Spellbinders Classic Oval! The swirl is a Tim Holtz Die Cut! A Cuttlebug E/F was used to emboss the top panel!

Here is the inside of the card:
