Our Daily Bread designs August New Release Blog Hop!

Hi everyone!  Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs August New Release Blog Hop!!!  This just might be our largest release....ever!  If you haven't seen all of the new sets, check out the New Release Post HERE.  There is a new ODBD Exclusive Spellbinders die set, seven stamp sets, and three new background stamps...wow!!

If you have hopped here from Sabrina's amazing blog, you are in the right place.  If not, please head over to the ODBD Blog and start at the beginning....we don't want you to miss a thing!  The hop will run until Thursday, August 2nd at 8 pm EDT.  There will be six blessed winners of a free stamp set of choice...yay!!  In case you lose your way, there is a full link list on the ODBD Blog, plus, the rules of the hop are listed there as well!

For my sample today, I have used the new "Daisy Background", "Bookmarks-Trees", and "Bookmark Verses". The background was created using the "Stained Glass Technique".....the "Daisy Background" was stamped onto white vellum, then the backside of the vellum was colored with markers. I ran the vellum piece through my Xyron Sticker Maker, then adhered it to white cardstock, which also acted as a mat. The edges were paper pierced, then I used a black marker to do some "Faux Stitching" for a little added character.  The bookmark tag from "Bookmarks-Trees" and scripture from "Bookmark Verses" were stamped on white cardstock, then used the sponged cloud technique and sponged the outside green using masking. I cut around the outside edge of the stamped tag, then adhered to the black bookmark which was cut out with the "ODBD Exclusive Spellbinders 'Bookmarks' Dies".  I wanted to be able to tuck in the bookmark without creating a pocket, so I cut out two fences with the "ODBD Fence Die" (glued them together to make a taller fence!), glued the fence on both ends only, so that the tag could tuck in behind it.  The poly-twill ribbon and gingham ribbon were pleated using Scor-tape, then adhered to the fence. After adding some bows tied with a Bow Easy, plus some buttons, I decided it was "busy" enough and stopped there.
