Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Amber Shaw aka sprtchick....congrats, Amber!!  I chose this beautiful night-time silhouette to re-create using the 'Howdy' set from Our Daily Bread designs, along with the ODBD Custom Pierced Circles Dies, ODBD Custom Pierced Ovals Dies, ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies, ODBD Custom Leafy Edged Borders Dies, and designer paper from the ODBD Christmas Paper Collection 2014.

Thanks for visiting with me!

Happy Saturday, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to choose a color combination from the given Pinterest board and design your project around it.  I'm a sucker for blue tones so I chose this Blue Tile combination for inspiration.  I started with a white rectangle, sponged the different shades of blue all over from light to dark, then used the ODBD Custom Majestic Medallion Dies set to cut out the pattern.  Lots of tiny pieces of foam tape were added to the back of the die cut piece to pop it up over the panel which was stamped with the Medallion Background stamp (after stamping off for a lighter color).  The sentiment panel was stamped with the Medallion Sentiments set, cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies, then matted with the ODBD Custom Filigree Frames dies.  I didn't want to cover up the die cut or gradient colors, so only pearls were added as embellishments. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a blessed weekend!

Boho Butterfly Blessings

Hi, everyone!  It's another easy layout for this week's Sketch Challenge #592 over at Splitcoast...woo hoo!!!  For my card, I have used the following items from Our Daily Bread designs:  ODBD Custom Boho Background Die, the Boho Blessings stamp set and ODBD Custom Fancy Fritillary Dies set to cut out the butterfly.  The card was sprayed several times with Pearl Glimmer Mist and then some sparkly sequins were added.

I Always Thank God For You!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Carla aka Covington Crafter.....congrats, Carla!  When cruising through her awesome gallery, this beautiful quilt card caught my attention.  I love the pieced background, stamped quilt center and scalloped border.  For my card, I used the ODBD Custom Log Cabin Quilt Die with a pattern from the ODBD Americana Quilt Paper Collection. The scalloped border was cut from the ODBD Custom Lacey Layered Squares Dies.  The sentiment from Many Thanks was stamped onto a partial doily cut from the ODBD Custom Doily Dies set.  A white bow and three navy pearls were added as finishing touches.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Saturday, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from a Pinterest board full of one layer cards (OLC).......I chose this awesome card by Audrie to recreate using the new Medallion Background and Medallion Sentiments set, both from Our Daily Bread designs.  For my first attempt, I used scratch paper to mask the white card, inked the background stamp with aqua and teal inks, but couldn't get a clean image at the edges of the masks.  I used the back side of my failed first attempt, inked the background stamp again, stamped onto a larger area, then trimmed to the size I wanted and adhered onto another white card base.  After stamping the sentiment, paper piercing and white pearls were added.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a blessed weekend!
