ODBD~ Masculine Birthday Card ~

The most difficult cards for me are masculine.  I have this habit of sticking flowers and ribbon on EVERYTHING!  Today's card is definite not frou frou...  copper embossing powder, jute and a distressed faux leather background show off some of Our Daily Bread Designs' January collection.

And here's the sets I used...

Antique Label Designs and complementary Antique Labels and Borders Die,,,

along with All Occasion Sentiments...

I just love the copper embossing powder on black card stock! Well gotta go! Until next time...

Blessings...

ODBD ~ Our Smallest Wishes

Welcome!  Thanks for stopping by!  Wanted to pop in today and share a card created with a few sets from Our Daily Bread Designs' January release.  I tried to create a chalkboard look...

 

 

 

I used a flat black card stock base and stamped my images/sentiments on with Versamark.  I then embossed them with white powder.  I sponged just a bit of white ink on to add that chalky look.  I created the floral spray with a yellow blossom from my stash and a few handmade bits too.  Do you just love these stamps? 

Antique Label Designs

 

and All Occasion Sentiments

 

Thanks for looking!

ODBD ~ Thinking of You !

No, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth. There were a few days when I felt like I might. LOL 

 

Christmas Eve was one of those days. I felt unusually drained. Christmas Day was much the same. But since John and I were hosting, I thought I was just worn out from all the family fun and frolic. Thursday and Friday were spent battling a raging fever and congestion. By Monday I forced myself to visit the doctor. Nausea, fever, the whole nine yards this past week... so much for starting out the new year...  :-P

No blogging here for the past few weeks my friends... My Christmas tree was stripped of its ornamentation (in phases) but it has not made it out of the house... I told John that I might just tie some Easter eggs on it and call it done... :-) Might as well laugh about it, right?   This too shall pass... 

So here's today's card...

Today's card features a couple of new releases from Our Daily Bread Designs'

All Occasion Sentiments and Antique Label Designs shown here...

Plus a special Spellbinders die for Our Daily Bread Designs' here...

Hope to be back up and crafting full-time soon...

Blessings...

The sentiment is from the All Occasion Sentiments set.  I inked it and centered it in the stamped Antique Label image.  I then used the Spellbinders ODBD custom Antique Label die to cut and emboss the sentiment panel.
