ODBD March Release Look Back!

Posted on March 25, 2016 7:58 AM by Julie 4 Comments

Today we are taking another look at the Our Daily Bread designs March release! Don’t you love the stars & keys? The dies & sets are so beautiful & versatile! Since I made a number of cards w/ the stars, today I’m featuring the keys.

I like the contrast of turquoise/teal with coral/peach so I made a Wrinkle Free Distress bg on watercolor paper using the distress inks, a craft sheet & a mister w/ water. I did the turq/teal colors first, leaving some white space & when it dried, I did the coral/peach colors. Doing the colors separately helps prevent getting muddy colors. After it dried, I die cut it w/ the largest matting basic die so it would be just a tad bigger than the turquoise Vintage Flourish Pattern die cut. Before I attached it, I sponged just the edges of the turquoise to help better define them. I tucked the teal Gilded Gate in the bottom of the turq. die cut I stamped the greeting w/ the Versafine onto a small Vintage Label die cut. The coral orange layers were also die cut, the edges sponged & I added just the fancy ends of the smallest Vintage Flourish dies cut out of teal, on top of the coral. The die cut Keys were threaded thru the lacy teal layer.

Here’s a look at the inside. The greeting is from the Key to Heaven set.

Little Note

Posted on March 22, 2016 6:46 PM by Julie 2 Comments

Today’s Color Challenge (CC575) on Splitcoast was a very challenging challenge…blush pink, mint green & blackberry. The pink & green are pretty easy, but the blackberry color is one of the most aggravating colors I’ve come across. It’s not purple, it’s not red, but it is very hard to match & this paper was the only one in my stash that even came close.

To make my card, I put the image & greeting in my Misti, stamped w/ the Memento grape ink, colored w/ Copics, then over stamped w/ the Versafine imperial purple. Just a note here…beware of those really strong magnets that come w/ the Misti…I lost 2 fingernails when a pair of them snapped together! Those puppies are strong! Anyway, I die cut all the layers using the Lavish Layers & Rectangles. The largest print layer was die cut first w/ the largest Lavish Layer then I die cut the leftover frame w/ the largest matting basic B die & put the fancy layer back in & attached it to the largest pink layer.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used. You probably saw the mistake right away…I attached the narrow frame & inside greeting on the wrong panel, lol. Oh well…I guess I’ll have lots more room to write a note!

Flying Balloons

Posted on March 7, 2016 11:25 PM by Julie Comment

The Clean & Simple Challenge today (CAS366) is to have an element extend beyond the edge of the card base. My yellow balloon rises just above the top edge of the card. I also had the MIX Challenge (MIX162) from last Friday in mind when I made this by using only primary colors.

I had a water color bg in my stash (I tend to make a bunch at a time for use later on) & I used the part of it that only had the red & yellow. There’s a little blue creeping in on the right, but not much. The two hot air balloons were stamped, colored w/ Copics, over stamped w/ Versafine then fussy cut. I also added one extra center panel (a little elevated) on each balloon. The little curved white panel w/ the window cut out was a left over so I cut the bottom of the w/c panel to match. Added the greeting & some sequins & done!

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
