Our Daily Bread designs SLC227

Hello everyone!

This week's Our Daily Bread designs "Shining the Light Challenge" is to create a card using this photo as inspiration:

You can find details about the challenge here:

ODBDSLC227

                       I created my card using an old rubber stamp that I removed from it's wood mount years ago (so sorry, I do not have even a stamp company identification.)

I stamped it using Black Memento Ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 

I colored the image using Spectrum Noir.

The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread designs "Porch" stamp set.  

You can find the stamp set here:

The background white card stock was created using Lifestyle Crafts "Bloom" embossing folder and it reminded me of the vase in the picture.   I also added a little ribbon colored to match using 

Spectrum Noir "CG2". 

Thank you for stopping by!

Our Daily Bread Designs Ornate Hearts Die

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. 

This card is for my Valentine who stands by me and supports everything I do.

Supplies used:

Our Daily Bread Designs Ornate Hearts Die & Our Daily Bread Designs Flower Heart rubber stamp. 

I used the stamp to make the background paper by stamping in embossing ink and heat embossing with clear embossing powder. 

Thank you for stopping by!

Saturated Canary "Reader" & Graphic 45 "By The Sea"

This image was so fun to color. She is Saturated Canary's "Reader" image 

and can be purchased here:

Saturated Canary Reader

I colored her up with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and used Glossy Accents on her glasses. 

The papers are from Graphic 45's "By The Sea" 8x8 stack. I added a little stitching, the Arch Lattice Martha Stewart Border punch, and a little satin ribbon.

Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge #226

Hello everyone!

Each week Our Daily Bread Designs offers the "Shining the Light" Challenge for card makers. You can find details about the challenge here:

ODBDSLC #226

The challenge this week is to use this sketch:

I did alter the sketch to accommodate the soldier stamp I wanted to use (and I do not have the lovely "Joy in a Jar" apothecary stamp or die set yet....it is on my wish list though.) I wanted to make 

a card to send to Operation Write Home because they collect cards and 

letters of encouragement for our deployed heros.  I will write a little note in it for 

a soldier to thank them for their service to our country. 

The patterned paper is from Our Daily Bread Designs "Patriotic Collection" and the soldier and sentiment are from Our Daily Bread Designs "Not Forgotten" stamp set. 

You can find these items here:

Not Forgotten Stamp Set

Patriotic Collection

I stamped the image and sentiment using Momento Ink in Black and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I added red and navy ink to the flag image after embossing using a pointed Q-Tip to get around those tight corners of the stars. 

The silver star is from Oriental Trading Company and was part of a patriotic  

embellishment collection you can find here:
