Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs August Release! Wow, do we some fabulous images for you! For my cards, I’m using these images and dies.
For my first card, I stamped the pickles in two colors of green ink to make the background. The pickle circle was colored with Copics and die cut with a circle die. The scallop circle behind it was stamped with the Baking Gift Tags (March 2013 release) and die cut with the matching Recipe & Tag dies. The gingham background was stamped w/ the cantaloupe ink on a piece of yellow textured card stock. I die cut a canning jar and stamped a pickle and  the greeting inside, and added some color to the lid and jar. A die cut fancy foliage flourish was added as well as some seam binding I colored with Copics and three little buttons. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used to color the images.

For my second card, I used the new Blue Ribbon Winner, Strawberries & Pickles sets along with the Baking Gift Tags and Gingham Bg images.The Gingham was stamped w/ neptune ink on the white background and edged with black. The canning jars were stamped, reverse masked and pickles and strawberries were stamped inside. I added a flourish from the Fancy Foliage dies along w/ some little leaves and added some green to the lt blue leaves. The sentiment was die cut with a circle die and the scallop circle from the Baking Gift Tag set was stamped and die cut with the matching die. I added some little flags die cut with some Spellbinders dies. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used to color everything.
