A Look Back at ODBD's February Release

 Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' February 1st release.  I created a tent card using Flourished Happy Easter stamp, new Little Lamb Die and coordinating older release Sheep Single Stamp.  I also used some of the new designer papers from the new Easter Card Paper Collection and Pastel Paper Collections. Be sure to visit the ODBD Blog for even more design team inspiration.  The links are listed after today's project.



I started out with a 5.25 by 5.25 white card stock base.  I also cut another piece of card stock measuring 5 x 2.5  to create the base it would eventually rest on.  I scored the narrow side (2.5 inches) every 1/4 inch and folded to create my base.  After adding a lovely floral print and stamping my sentiment in the center (Happy Easter Flourish) I added a bit of polka dotted pattern on the outside.  I used the Double Stitched Circles Die to create my gallery along with one larger circle die to create the "frame."  I adhered the gate fold stand to the bottom inside of my card with adhesive tape and added a bit of green grass (Grass Die).  I stamped this darling little lamb (Sheep Single) on Copic compatible paper and lightly colored him.  Once I was satisfied with the coloring, I pulled out the new Little Lamb Die and cut my image out.  I created the fun flowers with white card stock and Pretty Posies Die.  After cutting, I inked each blossom with a soft purple distress ink on the edges and a bit of soft yellow inside.  I moistened each blossom layer with a water mister and worked the blossoms with my hands and a paper shaping tool to reach the desired effect.  A bit of greenery (Fancy Foliage Die) adorns the corner.  

So here are some of the items you see today...
