ODBD ~ Give Thanks ~

Good morning and welcome to the work week! I'm already checking off my to-do list...  meetings...reports...projects due... The list never seems to get shorter!  And even though my list seems to be continually multiplying it is oh so satisfying to mark a few of those items off.  

Talking about lists...  there is one list that I am so very happy to be on...  the Lamb's Book of Life list...  aren't you???

Today's card featuring a few items from Our Daily Bread Designs' August release...

Boho Blessings, the coordinating Fancy Fritillary Die, Boho Background Die, Oval Dies and Stitched Ovals Die...

and did I mention an old favorite... Fancy Foliage Die

I started with a white card stock base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches and added a slightly smaller black CS mat.  I used the Boho Background Die to emboss my top panel in white.  I stamped the sentiment in black (Boho Blessing) 

and used Ovals Dies and Stitched Ovals Die  to 

frame it.  A bit of greenery from the Fancy Foliage Die  adorns the corner.  

I stamped my image on Copic compatible paper in a soft gray ink and used my Copics to color it.  Afterwards I used a stamp positioner to ink over the outline with a rich black ink.  I used the coordinating Fancy Fritillary Die to cut it out.  

So here are the new items you see...

and some older items...

How fun!  Now don't forget Tuesday will mark the first day of September and that means a whole new release from Our Daily Bread Designs!  If you loved this month's as much as I did...  I know you will enjoy this one as well!  PLUS...  there will be more special surprises this month!  I can't wait to share!  

Hugs and blessings...

A Look Back at ODBD's August Release

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' August Release.  Here is the card I created using Boho Blessings, Beautiful Boho Paper Collection and the new die, Stitched Ovals.  For more inspiration using the August Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.

I started with a black card stock base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches adding a slightly smaller rich orange mat.  I chose a couple of designs from the new Beautiful Boho Paper Collection and layered them up.  I stamped the image (Boho Blessings) on Copic compatible paper with a soft grey die fast ink and then colored the image with Copics.  I stamped the image again with a deep Versafine black ink using a positioning tool to stamp exactly over the original gray.  I then used the coordinating Fancy Fritillary Die to cut it out.  I stamped the sentiment with black ink on white paper carefully matting it.  I used a rich raspberry CS along with the new Stitched Ovals Die for a slightly "hidden" element behing the sentiment panel.  I also pulled out an old favorite...  Pennants Die, to add a sweet banner under the butterfly.  So here are some of the items  you see today!

 

 Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to visit my design team sisters to see what that have for you as well!

Blessings...
