Hello everyone and welcome to Our Daily Bread design’s Aug 1 release blog hop! If you came from Dawn Lusk’s blog, you are in the right place, if not or if you get lost along the way or any links are broken, just return to the ODBD Blog for the full list of links! We hope you enjoy this months sets as much as we do!!!
The grid background was done by covering the white c/s with some drywall mesh then sponging yellow and orangey inks over it. After removing the mesh, you get this wonderful grid pattern. I added a narrow black border (also trimmed w/ the scissors) near the edge of my 5.5 x 4.25 white card. A checkered bow and Happy Fall tag finished the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my project today. From here, hop over to Connie McCotter’s blog to be inspired and blessed!
Supplies:
stamps: ODBD – Harvest Blessings, Happy Fall
paper: white, black
ink: Ancient Page coal, lemon peel, sunburst
accessories: Spellbinders labels 8, sunflower edge scissors, Tombow markers, ribbon, drywall mesh, sm. corner rounder (for sentiment tag)

Had to come back a second time after reviewing well done lovely blue chickory blossoms. How enjoyable both cards were.
Impressive fog and mist came to mind when vellum was incorporated. In this heat, what a mental relief! Much needed!
Very enjoyable…return to enjoy a second mental spa moment.
Thank you.
