Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs December Release!Â
For my first card, I white embossed all the little flowers and greeting on white card stock then die cut them w/ the matching die. On the greeting flower, I left the die in place and sponged on the berry ink. On the other flowers, I sponged on the lawn, berry & peacock inks. The curvy white strip on top is a couple of left over pieces from die cutting a labels 17. The strips were pierced, attached on top of the two rows of flowers w/ ribbon on top. The large 5.25 x 4.0 white panel was also pierced around the edges. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.Â

On my second card, I started by using a brayer and a large rainbow ink pad to cover a large piece of white card stock. After stamping the Ornate Background, I added some highlights w/ a white gel pen and a white Prismacolor pencil. I then added black enamel dots all over the design. The two border/frame images were stamped, colors and die cut w/ the matching dies. The greeting was die cut w/ a small petite oval and I cut along the edges of the design to insert it. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
