Welcome to the ODBD January 2016 Release

Hello friends!  Happy New Year and welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs January 2016 Release!   Did I just say 2016? Where did 2015 go?  Our Daily Bread Designs is releasing several new Bible Journaling stamp sets, two new all occasion stamp sets, and two new die sets this month.  If you haven't jumped into Bible journaling yet, these sets are also perfect for bookmarks and cards.  Wait until you see what the talented Breadstick Designers have done with the products from this release!

Both of my samples were made with several of the new products being released this month!

First up…Wishing Well:

Creative Nugget:  Beautiful Boho Papers were stitched to an embossed Boho Background to create the front of my card.  A Beautiful Border die cut was also tucked into the right edge of the designer paper strips.  The Wishing Well image, colored with Copic Markers, and gray the mat were cut with the new Circle and Double Stitched Circle Dies.  One of the sentiments from the Wishing Well stamp set was white embossed on gray card stock and the end cut with a Pennant Die.  The floral embellishment was made with the Pretty Posies Dies and the Fancy Foliage Dies.  A few Prills were added to the center of the flowers to finish the card.

My next sample is a Bible Journaling page made with one of the new Bible Journaling stamp sets, My Refuge.

Creative Nugget:  My Bible Journal page was prepped with a thin coat of TriArt Clear Gesso.  Letter Stencils were adhered to the page with repositional glue dots and Distress Inks were used to sponge over the letters.  A Micron pen was used to outline the letters and Art Anthology Gilded Gold Colorations Spray was used to add shimmer to the page.  The letter stencils were gently removed from the page.  My Refuge was stamped on a piece of Neenah Solar Crest card stock, the cabin and edges were masked, and the same colors used on the Bible page were then sponged on the stamped scene.  The cabin and path were colored with Copic Markers and Wink of Stella Markers were used to color the flowers.  The Gilded Gold spray was added for shimmer.  The illustrated verse was attached to the Bible page along the right edge using Washi Tape.

 This photo shows the shimmer a little better.

My Refuge was lightly stamped in the margin of the Bible and notes were written over the image.  The Tip-In folds out to reveal the notes taken on the selected scripture verse.
