Today we are taking another look at the Our Daily Bread designs March release! And what a wonderful release it is!

For my card, I stamped the hive, bees and greeting with indigo ink and added a little yellow with some Tombow markers. The indigo ink is not compatible with Copics so I had to use a water based marker. I die cut with a rectangle and edged it with a yellow Permapaque marker. The greeting was done the same way and I used the Tombow marker to add the yellow to the letters. The honeycomb background was stamped first with the lemonade ink then only along the left edge with indigo ink. The right side was die cut and also edged w/ the Permapaque marker. The navy bg was embossed and the little bees were die cut w/ the matching die from the Zinnia die set. I wanted one bee facing the opposite direction, so I cut the legs off so it wouldn’t look like he was flying upside down, lol. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the beautiful sets I used:

Isn’t this a wonderful set? I love the clover and little bees and the quotes are beautiful! For my card, I stamped and water colored two of the clover images and used the fabulous matching die to cut them out.  I love fussy cutting, but give me a die like this, and I’ll hang up my scissors in a heart beat! I also die cut piece of card board to attach under one of the clovers for a little lift. After stamping the quote on some gold parchment c/s, I attached a black frame with a Spellbinders label 17 cut out of the middle.

The beautiful honeycomb background image was stamped on top of a subtle dp pattern. the black/cream dot pattern is another dp pattern. I didn’t have the right size brads in black, so I used a black Permapaque marker to color some white brads and heat set to dry them. The finished ivory card is 5.5 x 4.25.
