Our Daily Bread Design, Scene it

Our challenge on Our Daily Bread Design is to make a scene with their stamps. I stamped The Mighty Sea for the sand and ocean and The light of the world for the lighthouse.  The cattails are from With Deepest Sympathy.   I colored it with copic markers and distressed ink.  I stamped the light house first and masked it, then stamped the mighty sea under it.  I masked off the sun and birds from that stamp so it would work better with the light house.  I added a saying from The light of the world set and stamped the cattails in the corner.  The red frame is a Martha Stewart around the page punch. Card size is 5.5 square. 

SNTODBD51, recipe

Our daily bread design blog has a great challenge for you today.  2012, two of something, 0 of something, 1 of something and 2 of something else.  I'm using their Serve the Lord stamp set and matching die for this. I punched two borders, no sentiment, one image and one die cut, two pearls. 

Timeless Tuesday Tri Fold challenge

This pretty Tri Fold card is for the challenge on Flourishes blog.  I used the darling birds from the Snow Wonderful set and colored them with copics. I cut them out by hand and then used the matching key hole die around them and on the front of the card. I used some broken china distress ink to color the background like a sky.   I edged it all with a gold pen and added some bling with a MS fern punch and the bird was a white glittered dove and I colored it with a copic marker.  Check out the gorgeous cards from Design team on Flourishes, lots of inspiration on there.   

Our Daily Bread Design sketch

This wonderful sketch is from Our Daily Bread Design blog.  I started out with a 5x7 green card, then added a piece of soft yellow and ran it through the musical 5x7 cuttlebug folder.  The red scalloped DP is from my stash and I used a scalloped XL cove rectangle stacker from Cheery Lynn Designs, edged with a gold pen.  The green die is a Spellbinders label 21, I stamped the musical background from ODBD on this and edged it in gold.  The holly inverted circle is from Spellbinders, I cut it out of cardboard and then added the DP from K&Co over it, edged it in gold also.  The holly leaves are a Martha Stewart punch and I edged them in gold, added some dark red gems. The flower was white and I used a copic R39 garnet to color it and the center pearl is colored with Y8 bright yellow.  The spellbinders fancy tag was cut out of yellow and edged with gold, the wishing you warm wishes for a bless Christmas season from Our Daily Breads Warm wish set.  Please be sure to hop over to the ODBD blog and see the fabulous creations and inspiration from the design team!!

Joan's Garden Challenge, Nature

I made this card for the challenge over at
Joan's Garden.  We were to use Nature as a theme, several layers, glitter and one of the Around the page punches by Martha Stewart or any other punch.  This beautiful stamp set is from Heartfelt Creations Spring Birdies set and I stamped in memento black, colored with copics and then added stickles to the images. I used some pretty DP from my stash and then layered everything with black to accent it. The around the page punch is from Martha Stewart and the oval is spellbinders.  I added some feathers and prima flower and leaves to finish the card.  Be sure to check out Joan's blog, she has some fabulous ideas and things for sale.
