    Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs‘  Alumni Team’s bi-monthly For the Love Blog Hop.  If you arrived here from the  blog of thevery talented Rosemary Dennis, then you’re in the right place. If not, you may want to go to the ODBD Blog  and start from the beginning. This week the Alumni team along with some of the ODBD designers are featuring a hop for the For the Love of ODBD Backgrounds! 

     

    For my card, I used two backgrounds: the Large Bird Background and the Wood Background.

     

    The two backgrounds were stamped with the pigment ink and the edges sponged w/ the same ink and a little of the darker fluid chalk ink on the very edge.

    On the sentiment/label, I placed a mask where the sentiment would be and inked the rest DTP (direct to paper) with the pixie dust ink at the top, papaya cream ink in the middle and rose coral ink at the bottom. After it dried,  I removed the mask and stamped the label and sentiment with black ink.  I really wanted to use gray ink, but it just looked too washed out. I used a white gel pen to add the tiny white dots around the flowers. It was die cut w/ the coordinating Spellbinders Labels 18 die.  I die cut a flourish out of some left over DTP c/s and added the two little punched birds and a double bow. The finished card is 6.25 x 4.50 (A6).

     

    Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m also adding this to the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast (IC328).

    Congrats, Kecia, today’s Featured Stamper (FS265)  at Splitcoast! Fabulous gallery! I chose her Calla Lily to case. I kept the flowers and the white textured bg but used different images added an oval window and made mine a sympathy card.

    All images are DRS Designs. The dogwoods are a sneak peak of new images to be released 3/10/12. Pretty simple card. After stamping and coloring, I fussy cut the dogwoods and chickadee and arranged them in my mega oval opening. The oval was die cut out of the white and I stamped the greeting in the lower right then embossed it w/ the embossing folder so I could line up the embossed lines. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    What a wonderful site for today’s Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast (IC325)!I had such a hard time picking just one so I may be back later. For this one, I was really inspired by the colors and pattern in the pottery at the bottom of This Page.

    This is pretty much all dp; three sheets from the Scarlet’s Letter pad. The images are all from Our Daily Bread designs. The chickadee and greeting were stamped on vellum and I used a white pencil on the back side. They still didn’t stand out as much as I wanted so I backed them w/ a piece of white paper. This time no fussy cutting…I picked up the matching die for the chickadee recently and I love it.

    The hymn was stamped w/ the Memento ink and I added two lines of the punched bird border on top and bottom. The 3 little dew drop like thingies were done w/ a product called Glass Effects. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
