ODBD SLC 224

I created my card using:

ODBD "Peaches" stamp set found here: Peaches

ODBD Beautiful Borders die set found here: Beautiful Borders

I also used Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles die, Cricut's Elegant Edges for the scalloped squares, and papers from Recollections. 

The image was colored with Spectrum Noir and embossed with clear embossing powder. I also used a little Viva Pearl Pen on the white rectangle to add a little detail.

Our Daily Bread Designs SLC223 Inspiration Challenge

Hello everyone!

Each week Our Daily Bread Designs offers us a challenge for our card making. You can find details about this week's challenge here:

ODBD SLC223

This week's challenge was to create a card using this photo as inspiration, either using the colors or something else in the picture. 

For my card I used the colors of mint, white, and pink and I focused on the florals.  I found a piece of floral designer paper in my stash and layered the panels (5" x 1 1/8th") on mint card stock.  

The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread Designs "Thank You Sentiments" stamp set and I used  ODBD's Crocheted Border stamp and die.  I embossed the sentiment and the crochet stamp using ink from Colorbox and Recollections Clear Embossing Powder. 

The "Thank You Sentiments" stamp set can be found here:

Thank You Sentiments

I added an actual crocheted trim piece made by my mother Jean Ness (thank you Mom!) and also added a little satin ribbon. 

The scalloped ovals were made using the Elegant Edges cartridge from Cricut and I put some dimensional adhesive under the sentiment panel.

Our Daily Bread Designs SLC222 Color Challenge

Hello everyone! Today's card is for the Our Daily Bread Designs SLC222 Color Challenge. You can find details about the challenge here:

ODBD Color Challenge

The challenge was to choose three colors from this palette and create a card with those colors as the focal point.

The three colors I focused on are lavender, peach, and cream. I used Spectrum Noir to color the image and I did add a little blue when coloring up the window for a little more contrast. 

I used Our Daily Bread Designs "Cathedral Window-Wood" stamp and the "Cathedral Window & Border Die" found here: 

Cathedral Window-Wood

Cathedral Window & Border Die

The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread Designs "Porch" rubber stamp set and can be found here:

ODBD Porch

I also used Spellbinders Fantastic Flourish floral die, a little grosgrain ribbon in cream, and a couple gems for a little bling.  Everything is layered on Bazzill card stock and I used a Martha Stewart "Punch Around The Page" in Eyelet Lace for the corner detail. 

Thank you for stopping by!

Our Daily Bread Designs "Peaches"

Hello everyone!

Today's card was created using Our Daily Bread Designs "Peaches" rubber stamp set.  I stamped the image on white card stock using black ink and heat embossed using clear embossing powder. But then decided I wanted to paper piece the "fabric cover" and bow so I  stamped the image again on  red gingham paper, and once more on white for the bow. I cut out the white bow and colored it with Spectrum Noir DR1 to match the gingham paper. I then cut out the red gingham cover and used Tombow liquid to attach the bow. 

The rest of the image was colored using Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers. I layered everything on black card stock for an extra layer. 

I used another Our Daily Bread Designs item for more details. The picket "Fence" die can be found here:

Fence

The flowers were cut from a Spellbinders die called Shapeabilities D-Lites Fantastic Flourish. It is a large spray of flowers and leaves so I cut off just the pieces I needed and colored them. 

I used Cricut's Elegant Edges cartridge to cut the scalloped edge square under the matted image and OWH Sketch #21 (I love all the little rectangles) for inspiration. 

I added a couple gems for a little sparkle and the sentiment is from the "Peaches" set. 

Underneath it all is a wonderful wood fence paper from a My Minds Eye 6x6 paper pad called "On The Bright Side-Two". 

Thank you for stopping by!

OWH Sketch #246

Hello everyone! Here is a card I created for Operation Write Home's Sketch Challenge #246.  You can find details about the challenge here:
Sketch #246

I used Stampabilities "Sock Monkey" rubber stamp and colored him up with Spectrum Noir. The stamp is mounted on wood and found at Hobby Lobby.  I paired it with The Paper Studio's "Sock Monkey" paper (also at Hobby Lobby.) 

I layered everything on deep red and dark brown card stock and then added a little red stitching around the border.  I used my Cricut to create a couple of little hearts and popped them on a little dimension.  

The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set (the OWH fundraiser one.) 

Thank you for stopping by! :)

I used a Tonic Star border punch, added a little satin ribbon, and used Omega thread in red, white and blue to tie on a little USA charm from BoxerScrapbooks.com (but it was the last in my stash so I have had it for a little while.....)
