Happy Birthday Blog Hop for Kelley!

Happy Birthday wishes to Kelley Holland, owner of Our Daily Bread designs! Kelley is the most wonderful and generous "boss" I have ever worked for. In order to give a little something back, in honor of Kelley's birthday, all of the "Breadsticks" have created new cards using some of the older sets, and will be sending them to Kelley to hang on her display boards in the Our Daily Bread designs' booth for craft shows in the future. A lot of the card samples show a little wear and tear (and fading) over time due to constant handling and exposure to bright lights. So, we're sending some "fresh blood", if you will!

For my first sample, I have used "Fruit of the Spirit", which I just picked up this past weekend while working for ODBD at a show in Fort Wayne, Indiana. (Hello to all of the wonderful ladies I met in person there!) The image was embossed on watercolor paper with Ranger Detail Black Embossing Powder, then colored with markers, cut out and popped up over Memory Box designer paper cut from Spellbinders Labels Fifteen, layered on Spellbinders Lacey Squares. The May Arts Satin Ribbon was tied with a Bow Easy and was embellished with Zva Creative Pearls and "Irridescent Gold" Glimmer Mist was sprayed over the finished card.


I have incorporated the following challenges in the making of this card:
AI Factory: Embossing;
For Fun Challenges: Something new (I just bought this set and this Memory Box designer paper a few days ago!).

My second card was made with the "Give Thanks" set, stamped on a panel cut with Spellbinders Labels Eleven, colored with markers, layered over SEI "Spooks" designer paper, and embellished with May Arts Crocheted ribbon, tied with a Bow Easy and a Basic Grey button on top, with "Irridescent Gold" Glimmer Mist for a shimmery finish.

The challenges I used for this card are:
Charisma Cardz: Autumn Colors;
Stampin B's: Fall Card;
Sentimental Sundays: Autumn/Fall.
