July Release and Blog Hop at Our Daily Bread Designs

Welcome to a new release at Our Daily Bread Designs and blog hop!  This month, we have a tropical theme...  perfect for all those summer cards you need to create!  And nothing says a warm tropical beach like flamingos and Frangipani!  For my first card, I used the new Tickled Pink stamp set, coordinating Flamingos Dies, Ferns Die and Frangipani Die.  We also have a special focus this month on one of our paper pad sets, Boho Bolds Paper Pad.  You see it here in the polka dot pattern paper and dark green background paper.

 I inked the centers of each frangipani blossom with a bit of distress ink and each flamingo was gently colored with Copic markers after stamping.  I also added a bit of Bamboo Leaves colored ink to the sentiment panel after cut/embossing and before removing the die.  So here are the new items you see today...

and the paper pad when are highlighting this month...

I chose to do a center step card for my second project using the new Aloha stamp set, coordinating Bird of Paradise Die, Ferns Die, Hibiscus Die and Tropical Leaves Die.

I stamped my image on Copic compatible paper and after coloring used the Bird of Paradise Die to cut it out.  I added the image to a softly sponged white background panel.  I used a soft blue and scalloped die to create clouds.  I created a fun floral spray using the new dies, Hibiscus, Ferns and Tropical Leaves.  I nested those over the panel and added an oval sentiment panel.  I chose to use a variety of papers on this one including Birthday Bash Paper Collection, Birthday Brights Paper Pad and Boho Bolds Paper Pad.  Here are the new items you see...
