Hello my friends! Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs Nov. Release
Blog Hop! Â You might want to start at the ODBD Blog so you don’t miss anything!
For my card, I used the fabulous new Chickadee Ornament!
I also used the lovely O Christmas Tree Carol from last month’s release. the pine branch/pinecone from Sing for Joy and the sweet little Chickadee w/ matching die.
After stamping the ornament and chickadee, I die cut the ornament w/ a circle die and the backing gold layer w/ a larger circle. I used the matching die for the chickadee (such a fabulous time saver!) and added a little color w/ copics. The pine branches were fussy cut. Originally, I had a separate background using the music background, but it just didn’t work so instead I stamped it w/ gold ink directly on the white card front. I thought I still needed a little separation between the main images and background, so I die cut a pine green frame and added a little texture. I just happened to have the red ring (from another project) and it was the right size so I added it inside the frame edge. Instead of adding another layer, I sponged the gold ink around the edges of the card front. A little gold bow w/ some added pine branch cut outs on top finished my 4.25 x 5.50 card.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

This is such a delightful card Julie! The die cutting really gives added dimension to your design. The chickadees are such a pretty image and you’ve coloured them really well so they stand out in 3D. Love the traditional red, green and gold colouring for this – brilliant!

Julie,
What a stunning card. Quite lovely. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Lovely use of combining these stamp sets which I don’t thinking doing very often. Your coloringcoloring is beautiful, and with the die cut chickadee popped, it’s so realistic-looking.
The musical background is the perfect touch!
Beautiful! The piecing and fussy cutting are amazing!
Very very nice. Nature is at its best when you include a little chickadee! Love the greens and background musical stamped paper in the oval. So very nicely done!
Just gorgeous Julie and I LOVE the dimension you have achieved on this fabulous creation! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!
