The Write Stuff

Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs March Release Blog Hop! 

 You may want to head over the the ODBD Blog and start from the beginning.

That’s a lot of sets for one card,  and I’m a little surprised there’s as much open area on my card as there is, lol! For the gingham background and pinwheel, I stamped the gingham using a lt pink pigment ink and let it dry. Meanwhile, I stamped the cupcake plate and two little cupcake plates, colored w/ Copics and fussy cut them. The recipe card die was used on piece of white linen paper and I sponged a little angel pink around the inside edge while the die was still in place. I did the same for the greeting tag then stamped both w/ black ink.

For the band across the bottom, I used a embossing border folder and inked it w/ the angel pink before I embossed it. Then I made two pinwheels…one is a 1.5 inch and the other is a 1.25 inch …out of some paper stamped w/ the gingham.  I put the smaller pinwheel on top of the larger one and put a brad thru the center. The brad was white, but I colored it w/ a pink Copic marker to match. I think pinwheels are a fun little alternative to bows. They are easy to make and for clarity, I made a little Pinwheel Tutorial if you’d like to see how I made them. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
