A Look Back at ODBD's June Release

Time is moving very fast these days!  It's hard to believe July 4th is just around the corner.  In this part of the country, school shopping begins any day!  It seems like just yesterday that the Class of 2014 graduated!  My, how time marches on! 
 
Today I am taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' June Release.  Here is the card I created using the Cherry Blossom stamp set, Asters and Leaves die plus new paper from the Blushing Rose Collection. For more inspiration using the June Release be sure to stop by the ODBD Blog.
 
Here's today's project...
 
 
I started with a pink 5.5 by 4.25 card base.  I added a slightly smaller gold CS panel.  I used ODBD's Vintage Flourish Pattern die and Blushing Rose Paper to create a "window."  I stamped my sentiment (Cherry Blossom) on coordinating ledger paper from the Blushing Rose Paper collection and trimmed it to fit under the coordinating frame.  I added the frame with dimensional foam.  I used the Fancy Foliage die and gold CS to create my vines and the new Asters and Leaves to make my pink blossoms.  I added some glossy glue to the centers before adding gold microbeads to each flower.  A pink dyed seam binding bow and strategically placed gold flourish finish it off!  And if you look REALLY close...  you will see where I used a gold marker to gently distress the inside edges of my "frame."  So what do you think???
 
The above project features the following new ODBD products...
 
 



and old sets...


 
Don't forget to stop by my "Sister Sticks" blogs and see all the beauty they have created for you!  Thanks as always!

ODBD ~ Cherry Blossoms ~

Today I have a project featuring the new stamp, Cherry Blossom from Our Daily Bread Designs. 
 
 
I chose a Kraft base with white matting and spring colors from a coordinating paper collection.  I inked the base layer of DP with tea stain ink and stamped the cherry blossom image with a pale khaki ink.  I chose to stamp the sentiment in a rich red.  To accent the banner, I chose Asters and Leaves and Fancy Foliage Dies.
 
Here's some of the items you see today...
 


 
Thanks so much for popping in!  I hope you have a wonderful Friday!

WAW72 ~ God's Love ~

Happy Wednesday!  Today's card shows just how much I am longing for spring.  Saturday we had temps near 70 degrees.  Sunday we had 7 inches of heavy wet snow.  And Monday?  Thunderstorms...  sigh... 
 
I've always heard if you don't like the weather in Kentucky, just hang around a minute.  It's bound to change!  And let me just say, my poor little daffodils have been pummeled the last few days but they still poke their cheery faces up at me! 
 
Today I am dreaming in shades of pink...  specifically, cherry blossom pink...  After all, if the daffodils can be so cheery, why not???
