ODBD March Release Blog Hop!
Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs March Release Blog Hop! If you arrived here from Becca’s fabulous blog, you are in the right place! If not, you might want to start at the Our Daily Bread designs Blog and hop from there!
I’m using one of the wonderful, moving sentiments and frame from the Eternity set along with the beautiful Tulip Corners. I’ve always loved this quote and I still get chills every time I read it. The frames and tulips were all gold embossed. The frame was embossed twice on vanilla colored vellum with the quote stamped inside one with black ink then both were die cut using 2 sizes of the exclusive ODBD/Spellbinders matching Eternity Labels One die. I layered the smaller vellum label (the one with the quote) on top of a piece of white to brighten it a bit, then used a gold leaf pen to edge the labels.
[TIP: if you stamp an image like this quote on vellum and it doesn’t appear as dark as you’d like, stamp it again on white paper. Line up and attach the vellum image on top of the white image and trim the white so the edges don’t stick out. Instantly brighter with darker type!]
The tulips were all colored using markers and a water brush and cut out. After arranging my many layers (yes there are 5 not counting the card front or quote labels), I attached the quote and arranged the tulips around it. The finished card measures 6.5 x 5 (A6).

Suncatcher Window
Happy Friday!
Best of 2011It’s my day to post on the DRS Designs Blog. I hope you’ll drop by to check out my card and leave me a note.
I love this Spring Flower Suncatcher image and it not only works wonderfully for Easter, it would also make lovely Spring cards for birthdays or Mother’s Day.
The Suncatcher was stamped twice and colored w/ markers. One was die cut w/ a circle die and I cut out just the flowers from the second image and layered them on top of the base image. After using an embossing folder on a piece of white c/s, I layered it onto a larger turquoise piece and then onto the 4.25 x 5.5 white card. Using the same circle die, I cut out a circular window through the layered card front and attached my image on the inside of the card.
