Hello and welcome to our September Release Blog Hop! Don’t you just love these new images? We’re also excited about the exclusive new dies ODBD is carrying now!
If you came here from Connie’s Blog, you’re in the right place. If not, you may want to go to the ODBD Blog in order to start from the beginning.
I love this new Brocade Background and the Never Thirst set is wonderful and I combined them for my card. A rainbow ink pad was used to brayer a piece of white card stock and the brocade was stamped over it with black ink. The well was stamped and colored with markers. After die cutting it (using the out of the box Nesite technique), I left the die in place and sponged some ink inside. Silver highlights were added with a metallic pen. I cut out an extra bucket to attach on the base image for a little dimension. After stamping the Proverb, I rounded the left corners and wrapped the right edge over the top two layers. I made a 1/2 inch faux brad out of some leftover background and attached it to a 5/8 inch mustard circle.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Your next stop will be Chris’ Blog and I know she’ll have something gorgeous to share.
Supplies:
stamps: ODBD – Brocade Background, Never Thirst
paper: water color, wine red, mustard
ink: Kaleidacolor Flannel rainbow pad, VersaFine onyx
accessories: Spellbinders labels 1 dies, Martha Stewart layered arches border punch, small corner rounder, 1/2 & 5/8 inch hole punches
The color choice was perfect. I love this!
Beautiful card, I wouldn’t have thought to put the brocade behind the water pump. Brocade is ‘fancy’ to me and the pump is ‘rustic.’ You made them work together. Thanks for sharing.
Great card Love it. Linda
The colors are so pretty for fall. I love the border punch you used!
Great card Love it beautiful colors.
Just gorgeous and so richly detailed, Julie! The background and the coloring are amazing! Wonderful scripture card!
You have convinced me to get my brayer out and blow the dust off. Very nice.
That background is amazing!
This is my first time on your blog and first time taking part in anything like this. It’s a really exciting concept and I’m waiting for delivery of my very first stamps coming from ODBD. Love card and the colours you’ve used – so ‘autumn’. Blessings!

Wow Julie, Thank you for sharing this awesome project with us! I am grateful to you for telling us to stamp white cs with the rainbow ink pad, and then stamp over it with the Brocade Background Stamp in black. If I have that wrong, please let me know! 🙂 The look is awesome. It kind of reminds me of lava lamps!
I really like how you made the pump look! The metal and wood touches are so realistic. I like how the bucket hangs down. I love the brightness of that border stamp punch and that “brad” is so perfectly colored. Awesome job!
He IS Able,

I really loved your card and all of the unique techniques you have used. I had to check out your tutorial for “out of the box nesties” and can’t wait to try it! The rainbow brayer with the brocade background stamp was amazing as well! The new sets are wonderful too. Bless you for sharing!
