    Posted on by Julie 27 Comments

    Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs  Alumni Team’s bi-monthly For the Love Blog Hop.   You may want to start at the ODBD Blog so you won’t miss a thing! This week the Alumni team along with some of the ODBD designers are featuring a hop For the Love of ODBD  embossing plates!

    Embossing plates are a little different from embossing folders, but there are a number of techniques to really show them off. I love distressing the embossed card stock with a sanding block to bring out the little embossed fish. I made sure to use a white core card stock so that when embossed and sanded, the embossed fish would really show up. Before I embossed it, I also added a little ink to the c/s and afterwards, I really roughed up the edges.

    I paired the embossed fish panel with this wonderful new ship from Surging Sea and sentiment from Smooth Sailing. Water colors were used on thin water color paper (think kid’s w/c pad), then the image was stamped and bleached. Since I was into distressing, I continued on w/ roughing up the edges and even tore a bit off one corner. The sentiment was die cut w/ a little pennant die and also distressed. The white x’s on the orange dp were added w/ a white gel pen. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Congrats to Debbie, the Featured Stamper this week on Splitcoast (FS283)! Such a wonderful gallery! I chose her CAS Sympathy to case. I kept the colors and layout and sympathy card but I changed the papers, images and used a punched butterfly instead of a stamped one.

    The image are from Our Daily Bread designs. Sadly, I needed a sympathy card and I thought Debbie’s layout and serene colors would be perfect. The images are new from Our Daily Bread designs.

    I first white embossed the lily image on the green, but I didn’t really think it looked the way I wanted. So I stamped it in black on another piece of the green, bleached the lilies then added color w/ markers and cut it out. I attached it a little down on the white embossed one so a little of the white would show. I also painted a little bleach on some of the corner elements in the border image. The sentiment was stamped directly on the designer paper and the double layer butterfly was added below. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Smooth Sailing Wooden Ship

    Happy Friday! For today’s Free for All Challenge (F4A124), we are to use something ‘wood”, image or actual…whatever! So I’m using a “wooden ship” image. It’s new from Our Daily Bread designs and my new fave image.

    Julie Warner-justwritedesigns-The Write Stuff
    The ship scene was stamped on white, water colored w/ markers, trimmed closely and attached to a piece of vanilla c/s that I die cut and resized to fit the image. The sentiment was stamped on a piece of the dp w/ the indigo ink and the compass was stamped w/ the tea dye ink.

    The rest is all dp from a big 12×12 pad but the only name I can see on it is ATD but I liked the colors and textured papers and thought they went well w/ my vintage looking image. On the green section, I stamped the compass repeatedly with the bamboo ink then cut it in half so I could have the bands of color across the top and bottom. I hid the seam behind a striped band of dp, layered on the cranberry and a piece of gold (it’s the reverse side of the green).  The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
