B-burlap, L-layers, S-stitching, S-stenciled sponging, I-impression plate, G-gold thread
Creative Nugget: Both sentiments are from the His Birth stamp set released by Our Daily Bread Designs earlier this month…love these sentiments, and were stamped in Archival Red Geranium ink on Vintage cream card stock! A piece of DP from the Christmas Paper Collection 2013 was stitched to the left side following the Freshly Made Sketch 163 for this week. A strip of burlap, a poinsettia made with the ODBD Custom Peaceful Poinsettias Dies, some ODBD Custom Fancy Foliage, and my new favorite accessory…metallic thread was added as an accent. Sponging through a stencil adds a bit of texture and gives the card a vintage look.
This card will be submitted for the following challenges:
Splitcoaststampers - Inspiration Challenge 468
Our Daily Bread Shining the Light - ODBDSLC218 Blessing Word Challenge
Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes #159
The Poinsettias were also used for this second card along with some other fabulous dies from Our Daily Bread Designs.

Creative Nugget: This card was inspired my Monika's Card with Stars and I love the way it turned out. The only stamping is the sentiment from the His Birth stamp set released by Our Daily Bread Designs earlier this month. It was inked up with VersaMark then a color that matched the DP so it could be clear embossed. The DP is from the Christmas Paper Collection 2014 by ODBD. The following custom dies also by ODBD were layered around the sentiment…Flourished Star Pattern Dies, Sparkling Star Dies, Peaceful Poinsettias Dies, and Fancy Foliage Dies. A bit of tulle netting and some metallic thread were added to finish the card.
Two more Christmas cards finished!
That's all for today…hope you've been inspired by your visit. Please stop by again…love hearing from you!
Hugs,
