ODBD July Review!

Posted on July 17, 2015 7:58 AM by Julie 5 Comments

Today we are taking another look at the Our Daily Bread designs July Release! Such gorgeous blossoms and fabulous dies! These roses will look beautiful in any color, for any occasion.

I thought I would go with some pretty yellow roses for my card. I stamped both images randomly around the edge the panel, making sure to leave room for the greeting. After coloring, I matted it on yellow & again on black. For the larger background, I again stamped the blooms randomly but left them uncolored so that the yellow roses would really stand out. I sprinkled some black crystals around & added a narrow black grosgrain bow on the lower right & wrapped it around the corner.

Here’s a look at the inside using some leftovers I didn’t use on the front.
And these are the Copics I used to color the roses.

Supplies:

Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs – Blossom, Home Sweet Home (inside)

Paper: X-Press It white, black, yellow textured (DCWV matstack)

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Versafine onyx

Accessories: Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B dies, Copic makers

Grill Master Feel Better

Posted on July 13, 2015 10:44 AM by Julie Comment

Today’s Technique Challenge (TLC542) has us going every which way with one of our main images. Actually, 2 of my main images are going different directions..the greeting was split into these 4 parts and stamped around the sides. The woven plaid stripe image was stamped in 2 directions.

I needed a get well/feel better card for one of my brothers-in-law. Poor guy had a really nasty fall and ended up with fractured vertebrae in his neck, a banged up knee and a face that looks like he was in a prize fight! Ouch! This particular brother of my hubs is a well know grill master. So hubs say, can you make a card w/ a barbeque theme? Really? I’ve totally got that covered! I left off the Happy Birthday part of the greeting and made a tablecloth plaid layer using the woven plaid stamp. For the inside, I used the leftover frame (after die cutting it for the front) and added a feel better greeting and a die cut bbq grill.

The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the (ridiculous number) of Copics I used.

Sitting on the Beach

Posted on June 19, 2015 10:16 AM by Julie 1 Comment

Today’s Free For All Challenge (F4A278) asks us to use umbrellas, rain, rivers, etc. I went with the umbrella part, but mine is on the beach.

If there’s a decent breeze, I’d like to be right there in that chair. We are having the worst heat wave here! And my hubby has been on crutches for a week..we had the back re-sodded, the sprinkler system wasn’t working right..Aye yi yi!! Between watering & waiting on him & driving him to Drs., I’ve been hopping around like a one legged flamenco dancer! I told hubs I could just amputate the foot & get him a peg cause we already have the parrot, lol. So far he’s not going for it.

This card is all on one layer..I say one layer because there is only one. I never count the card itself. To me that’s a no layer. I started by stamping the chair, masking, then the umbrella, fence & palm tree. With the masks for all of these still in place, I sponged on the sand, sea & used a scallop edge mask to sponge the sky w/ clouds. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.
