Our Daily Bread designs February New Release Blog Hop!

Welcome to the February New Release Blog Hop for Our Daily Bread designs! Another brand new month will lots of brand new goodies to show off....to see all of the February New Releases, check out the New Release post on the ODBD blog. All of the Breadsticks have created some amazing samples with the new sets...get ready to hop and see them all!

You're right....this isn't my usual frilly type of card! :) I absolutely LOVE this new background stamp, "He Shall Be Called" and wanted to feature it for the hop today. There was a vellum scrap on my desk which caught my eye, so I started out by grabbing some SEI chalk ink since I love to clear emboss with it, especially on vellum. The ocean blue ink led me to the SEI "Bridgeport" designer paper.....so bright and cheerful! The embossing was a success, so I trimmed around the print to look like deckle scissors (I was too lazy to get up and look for the real ones!), sponged the edges in SU Early Espresso, ran the vellum through my Xyron sticker maker, and adhered to the SEI designer paper. I didn't want to add too many embellishments which would take the attention off of the powerful stamp, so I sponged the edges, paper pierced, and added linen thread and brads. It's "different", but I hope you like it!!

Now, the moment you've been waiting for......on with the hop!!!!

If you hopped here from Debi’s Blog, then you are in the right place! If not, you might want to start at the ODBD Blog....we don't want you to miss a thing!

    This is the first time I have seen a background stamp made into the focal point, and it surely deserves to be so! That stamp says it all and leaves me feeling ever so humble. Thank you for putting this all into it's proper perspective, even though He is working behind the scenes, He is always the focal point! Your card/colors just make this such a perfect card. Thanks again!

    What a beautiful take on this very large image. The colors are so striking and very appropriate for
    all the names of our Heavenly Father, after all he did give us the rainbows.

    I LOVE what you did with the embossing on vellum and the sponging of the edges and the being-too-lazy-to-look-for-scissors :P. As always, YOU ROCK!!

    I have to agree that background stamp should be focal, it's awesome just like our Lord. Good decision, and very nice card.

    Hi Angie,

    Something different, not the same technique can still be magnificent.

    I love how you higlighted His names. It is just what I was thinking when I was looking at the stamp, thinking how I would use it. I decided I would want to use it where the stamp is the main focus...why Turn Our Eyes Off of It?

    I love the color that you added to the vellum. This is beautiful, Angie!

    He IS Able,
    Traci S.
