Today we are taking a look back at the Our Daily Bread designs fabulous July release! Don’t you LOVE those trendy pennant dies and coordinating stamps? I sure do! I can see lots of uses for these babies in my future! I had a lot of fun with this card….and it’s a combination of dies and left overs from earlier projects. Isn’t it great when you find bits & pieces that all come together in a new project? This is also for the Inspiration Challenge (IC450). I was inspired by THIS pillow.
The other day, we had a Splitcoast challenge to “color the embossing” (TLC489). The aqua lower section is one of my “try outs”. After I embossed it, I colored over the top with a white marker. The top section, is a small leftover of a die cut ODBD Daisy Chain die. I had a few white asters left, so I die cut a few more from the Asters die and layered them together w/ a black print Candi dot on top. I used a white strip to stamp the rest of my greeting (from the Dad set) and bordered it w/ a black die cut from the Beautiful Borders dies.
And for the grand finale, I die cut a white Pennant Row and stamped the Happy on it from the Pennant Alphabet stamp set then added an aqua scallop pennant form the same Pennant Row dies underneath. A few more Candi dots finished it all.
Please be sure to stop and visit all of the team blogs for more inspiration!

Gorgeous card. Love all the layers and soft colors. I like how you colored the raised dots on the blue embossed layer.
Beautiful card Julie! Love how you combined the banner happy with the Birthday from Dad. Beautiful work as always!
Very beautiful card. Love the layering of the flower and the lettering button just makes it pop and I like how you used a line of buttons with the lettering one used again.
This is gorgeous Julie!! I love every detail from the blue and white with the pop of black to the texture and stunning flower! Your creations are always an inspiration!

What great products! You’ve done an amazing job! Wonderful!
LOVE this gorgeous card (one of my fave rewind cards in the gallery)! You asked about the Christmas sentiment on my “tree” card…yes, it’s from a retired set only I didn’t know that until I went to post it in the gallery and saw it wasn’t listed anymore. 🙁
Love your color choices!!! I think it’s fun, elegant and oh so pretty!!!
Oh, I love your card. The banner rocks. But then, so does your card.
Totally fabulous birthday card Julie! Love all the perfect details!
Hope you are doing well??? We need to get together soon 🙂 !!! Hugs ~S~
