Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs June Release Blog Hop!

Ever since I first saw these new images, I knew I wanted to make a window card. I used both the small and large petite oval die sets to create my window. To begin, I cut a layer out of white c/s slightly smaller than the front of my 5.50 x 4.25 white card and stacked the layer on top of the card front. Using the largest of the large ovals, I die cut them together so they would match up when attached. The largest of the small ovals was used to cut the coral layer which I sandwiched between the card and the top layer.

The bicycle was stamped, colored w/ markers and cut out above the top rail of the fence. The scene from Missing You was stamped on the inside of the card along with the sentiment. I added a little extra bit of fence on the inside of the window to complete the bicycle scene on the front. A couple of die cut pennants and buttons were added for extra interest.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Paper: Neenah white, coral textured (DCWV)

Clover Window

What a terrific color combo for today’s Color Challenge (CC352) on Splitcoast (vanilla, red & green)! Perfect for Christmas…if only this was a Christmas card, lol. I just finished making 40+ Christmas cards and I really wanted to do something else today. I think the red/green worked out OK for my spring card.

The clover (all images are Our Daily Bread designs)was stamped twice on vanilla, water colored and die cut w/ the matching die. The daisies were stamped on white, water colored and fussy cut. The window was die cut and inked DTP and also sponged w/ the red Distress ink. The curtains were clear embossed on vanilla and sponged as well.
The vanilla honeycomb bg was clear embossed, so it’s kind of subtle. I arranged the clover and cut apart daisies around my window and added a sentiment across the upper left corner. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Window Snowscene

Fun color combination today in today’s Color Challenge (CC348) at Splitcoast! I liked it more than I thought I would even though it was a little challenging for a Christmas card. I have this cute new snowman scene and window die and I really wanted to use it so I hunted around and found some dp that had the colors.

After stamping the scene on kraft (images and dies are Our Daily Bread designs), I masked it and stamped the trees again for a fuller look. With a tiny acrylic paint brush, I painted bleach onto the snowman and snow areas of the scene. I used markers to add some color to the scene. The window was cut into a ridged kraft c/s and then I decided it needed to be lighter so I rubbed white ink over it and embossed it.

The curtains were die cut out of the cajun color dp and added on top. The turquoise dp had a little of the peachy cajun color in it but I added a bit more w/ markers. The finished kraft card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
