Our Daily Bread Designs - A Friend Loves at All Times

Good morning!  It has been so hot here the last few days.  The Saints are determined to stay in.  They give me this look like...  hey Mom, we like snow not this...  So while they lounge under the nearest shade tree, I am working on cards...  

And here is one featuring Our Daily Bread Designs'  A True Friend stamp set and Ornate Ovals Die...

This time I opted to color my Iris a rich blue purple...  using a few of my favorite Copic colors...

B63, B79, G21, YG67 and Y17

Since I didn't have the mid tone color between B63 and B79... I improvised.  I picked up some of the darker shade on the tip of the lighter...  and colored away...  Perfect way to make your Copic collection go further!

So here is a layer by layer break down of today's card...

Purple Card Stock (CS) 4.25 by 11 inches, scored and folded at 5.5 inches

1. Silver Poster Board cut and embossed with ODBD's Pierced Rectangles Die
2. White CS - cut and embossed with ODBD's Lavish Layers Die
3. Purple CS - ODBD's Pierced Rectangles Die
4. Copic Compatible CS (Neenah Solar Crest) ODBD's image *** NEW *** A True Friend - Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic colors listed above
5. White CS (Sentiment Panel) Memento Grape Jelly and Lulu Lavender; ODBD's ***NEW *** A True Friend; cut and embossed with ODBD's ***NEW*** Ornate Ovals Die

Here are a few of the NEW items you see used on this project...

and a few old favorites...

I mentioned my love for these gorgeous flowers in an earlier post.  And this color is one of my favorites!  Thanks as always for stopping by!  Stop back by this week as I share a couple of new projects.  And don't forget next week we enter a new month...  and that means a new release from Our Daily Bread Designs amd a blog hop!  It promises to be so much fun!

Blessings...
