OK… now on to my card: I used the new ODBD Confirmation set. All the images were gold embossed and all panels were edged with a gold leafing pen. A little color was added to the image using markers and a blender pen. I used Spellbinders labels 4 to cut out my main panels and a border punch to punch down the sides of the ivory panel. I left the die in place and sponged on a little Brilliance gold ink. The beautiful background paper is from the Juliette collection from SEI.
From here hop to Lorelie’s blog to see what great inspiration she has for you today!
Have fun hopping, and Happy New Year from the Our Daily Bread designs Bread Basket!
