Here is my card featuring Crown of Thorns..

 

 

and the set shown here...

 

 

I used a soft brown ink to stamp the image of Christ and a darker one for the sentiment.  This time I elected to put both on the same panel instead of using a die cut.  A bit of twine adds a rustic element to the card.  I chose muted tones of blue and kraft for this one.  I didn't want to detract from the powerful image and scripture.  Thanks so much for stopping by and blessings to you as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  I will sent you on to your next stop... the ever fabulous Grace...   Blessings....

Here is my card featuring the Anchor set...

 

 

I chose to used a wood print DP and scored the lines between each plank.  The bottom layer was pierced for interest.  The image (stamped with a pale gray ink) serves as a backdrop for this wonderful passage from Hebrews.  A bit of tied rope gives an otherwise neutral card a nautical feel.

So which one is my favorite?  Well, that is a hard one.  Each set is like a child...  how can you love one more than another?  :-)  But there is one set, particularly this time of year I find myself gravitating toward.  That set is Blessed Christmas.  It is one of the first sets I purchased when I discovered Our Daily Bread Designs.  At that time, I was just starting to work with Copics and let me tell ya, I practiced and practiced and practiced with this set.  It is one of those go to sets I pull out every Christmas.  This time I opted not to color the image but do a very light inking/stamping with distress ink on the focal panel. 
 


Here is what the entire set, Blessed Christmas, looks like.  Isn't it lovely?

Now I will send you on your way to visit Angie's awesome blog!
Make sure to leave her some love! Big hugs and thanks so much for stopping by!

Here's what I created this week...

Using this lovely set of images and scripture entitled The Good Seed

The base layer was embossed with a Polka Dot Embossing Folder and stitched around the edges. I added a few coordinating DP pieces under the focal panel to resemble a quilt. A floral doily die inked lightly makes a feminine first layer while the rust circle die adds a bit of contrast. The sentiment (ODBD's The Good Seed)

was stamped on coordinating paper and cut with a circle die. A bit of ecru seam binding was tucked behind with a fluffy bow for dimension. I also added a tiny acorn die cut with both leaves and branches tucked behind the bow. And I can't forget the gold flat backed pearls!

Now I will send you on your way to Our Daily Bread Designs' WONDERFUL blog. Make sure to leave some love at this final stop! Blessings and thanks so much for stopping by!

This week I am working with the Warm Wishes set...

and the card...

I stamped the scene on white card stock with a dark distress ink. Once I cut/embossed the panel I inked the edges lightly with Memento Desert Sand. The flourish is a die I cut in two and arranged behind the die cut snowflake. Stickles add just the perfect bling to my due of nested snowflakes. The seam binding bow was created with my DT sister, Becca's Peg Bow Maker. And a tiny tear drop shaped gemstone finishes it off!

Now I will send you on your way to Sandee's WONDERFUL blog. Blessings and thanks so much for stopping by!

I decided to work with the Sweet William Small Set pictured below...

Our Daily Bread also has a Sweet William set which perfectly nests with the Small William set...

And my project this week using the Sweet William Small set...

I stamped my Sweet Williams on white card stock with Antique Linen Distress Ink before cutting with the Spellbinder Blossom Three Dies. I then cut each petal, flipped the blossom over and used an embossing tool to break down the fibers in the paper petals. I use an old mouse pad for cushioning. This allows the petals to curve and pop up. I did this to both layers and put them together with dimensional foam before adding a pearl center. I stamped the sentiment using individual words from this set. This makes it super easy to customize your greeting!

Now next on the hop is Julie. She has a beautiful project to share! Thanks so much for hopping along with us! Blessings!

I decided to work with the Serve the Lord Set pictured below...

And my project this week...

I began with a simple white card stock base, matting my DP with purple CS. The DP has been both dry embossed and all edges distressed. I stamped my image on Copic compatible paper coloring my Poppies lightly. I used the compatible ODBD die to cut my image out. Before finishing I created a bow with ODBD's Design Team Member Becca Feekan's new Peg Bow Maker. So easy and I love the final results dressed up with a lavender button and baker's twine bow.

Now next on the hop is Sandee. She has a beautiful project to share! Thanks so much for hopping along with us! Blessings!

ODBD Love of Backgrounds ~ Birch & Honeycomb

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Design's Alumni Team's bi-monthly For the Love of Blog Hop. This is a big week at ODBD! Kelley and crew are celebrating their four year anniversary! We're having a great big party!

My creation features Birch Background



and the Honeycomb Background shown here.



And now for my card...



I stamped the Birch Background stamp twice, selecting some of the birch trees to cut out individually and then placing them with dimensional foam on the base image. Notice how the branches stick out wildly? I thought it added to the "rustic" feel. I then stamped my sentiment from On Eagles' Wings and placed a sticky note over it to mask it before stamping with the Honeycomb Background. I then removed the mask and trimmed it down to the desired size. A simple jute bow finishes it off. Thanks for stopping in. Don't forget to pop back in again Saturday for the big reveal! Kelley has come up with some FABULOUS 4th Anniversary sets! I will send you on your way...
