ODBD May Release!

Posted on May 1, 2014 7:58 AM by Julie 23 Comments

Welcome to Our Daily Bread designs May release! We have some gorgeous images and dies for you this month! And they coordinate so well with the release from last month!

First, the prize details:

Three winners will be randomly chosen from the comments left on the designers blogs to receive a $15 Gift Certificate to the ODBD Store, to be used toward the purchase of ODBD Stamps.
You have until May 2, 2014 at 9:00 p.m. EDT to leave your comments!
The Winners will be posted on the ODBD Blog on May 3rd, so be sure to check back there to see if you won!

For my first card, I combined the new Vintage Labels dies & Carried to Heaven with the Flourish Label Borders, Vintage Flourish Pattern dies, Ornamental Cross Collection dies & Chalkboard Vine Background from last month’s release. I also added the Cala Lily from the Loving Memories set. After I die cut the Vintage Labels and the Vintage Flourish Pattern dies out of white, I left the dies in place on the labels and stamped the Chalkboard Vine pattern on top using the sky blue ink. I added the Flourish Label Border on the largest die using the black ink.

The lilies were colored with Copics and fussy cut. I added a bit of blue to the smallest cross and stacked the crosses on top of the lilies. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

Supplies:

Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs – Carried to Heaven, Loving Memories, Chalkboard Vine Background, Flourish Label Borders

Paper: X-press it white, lt blue

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Memories sky blue

Accessories: ODBD Ornamental Cross Collection dies, ODBD Vintage Labels dies, ODBD Vintage Flourish Pattern dies, Copic markers

For my second card, I used the Sheltering Angel, the Chalkboard Vine Background, the Vintage Label Dies, the largest of the Vintage Flourish Pattern die and the Angel Wings dies. I liked the lt blue ink on white on my first card, so I made a large background again using the Chalkboard Vine Bg and the sky blue ink. I thought it needed a little something, so I pierced all around the border. The Sheltering Angel blessing was stamped, die cut and with the die still in place, I used colors from the two Kaleidacolor pads to sponge the color on top. For the yellow label and the largest background, I stamped the Chalkboard Vine bg again using the straw ink (stamped one off) and sponged on a little more of the same ink to deepen the color. The Angel Wings were die cut out of yellow and I used the yellow & orange inks from the melon Kpad to add a little more color.

Wisteria

Posted on April 29, 2014 6:03 PM by Julie 1 Comment

I had a little more time today, so I made another for the Color Challenge (CC476) on Splitcoast. The colors seemed perfect for this wisteria image. After stamping and coloring with Copics, I did my out of the box treatment on it. It’s such a large image it was about the only way I could add any more layers and have them show. After die cutting it and the brushed gold layer behind it, I wanted a little more color but all I had was the darker strip on the left, so I added another strip of a lavender heather and embossed it for some texture.

I added two metallic Candi dots in the curves on top and bottom. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Be Married

A big congrats to Priscilla, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS377)! She has such a wonderful gallery and it was so hard to chose…I may have to come back with another! Besides the fact that Priscilla loves to use die cuts and embossing folders, I noticed she also has a lot of pink & white cards. For my CASE, I chose THIS card. I kept the layout, the colors & the embossed background but I used different images, made my focal point a large tag & used a sheer bow instead of a band of lace.

After stamping my greeting, I die cut with a large tag die on 3 sides but used a fancy tag for the left end. The pink border was done with a pink Copic marker & I also used it to tint the sheer white ribbon for the bow. The flower/ring corner image was stamped on the large white panel, colored with Copics then I used a corner embossing folder on 3 of the corners. I had to rotate the folder and do 1 corner at a time in order to do 3 corners since the folder is actually only 2 opposing corners. I added a bit of stickles to the flowers, a pink layer & called it done! These are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Congrats again, Priscilla! If you haven’t yet, please check out the DRS Thursday Challenge. This week,Tag You’re It! Use or make a tag. DRS images are not required, so head on over and link up your creation!
