And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, and to love kindness
and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8)

Taking a Look Back at the ODBD September 2014 Release

Welcome, my friends!  Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs September 2014 Release.  Here is the project I created using some of the new products released this month.  


Creative Nugget:  Have you ever finished a card just to decide you didn't like it and rip it all apart?  The gray background on my first attempt at this card was just too dark for my liking so apart it came.  Several Doily Die cuts were embedded onto a piece of Vintage Cream card stock to create the background for this second attempt.  A strip of Soulful Stitches paper was stitched to the doily background.  A small quilt made of Soulful Stitches scraps stitched together on Smokey Shadow card stock and mounted to Sage Shadow was added next.  Then came the Beautiful Border Die cut from Groovy Guava card stock.  The knitting basket and yarn from the Hand Knit stamp set were colored with Copic Markers and cut with the matching Knitting Basket and Yarn Dies.  A hand cut banner was stamped with the sentiment from the Birthday Doily stamp set.  Two little buttons from the Doily Die were covered with Glossy Accents and pearls attached to finish the card.  There…that's much better!

Here is another card made by layering the Doily Dies together in neutral tones and mounting them on a panel embossed with the Daisy Chain Background Die.  I love how delicate this Doily Die is and know I will be reaching for it time and time again!




Here are the products from the ODBD Store that were used to create these samples:


My first card sample will also be submitted for the following challenges for this week:

Stitched in Love

Hello friends!

Kathy Roney is the Featured Stamper today on Splitcoaststampers and she has such a beautiful gallery full of vintage inspiration!  I chose to CASE THIS gorgeous card!



Creative Nugget:  The dress form on Kathy's card caught my attention right away because tomorrow Our Daily Bread Designs will be releasing their new stamp sets and dies for the month of September.  One of the images from the release is this beautiful dress form.  The background for the dress was watercolored with distress inks and the image was stamped in Watering Can Archival Ink.  There are several other products on this card that are part of the new release, but you'll have to check back tomorrow to see the full reveal!  I just love the ODBD Custom Vintage Pattern Die and the ODBD Custom Vintage Label Dies used on the card front…they were perfect for this beautiful dress!  The greens were cut with ODBD Custom Fancy Foliage Dies.  Some seam binding, mulberry roses, and embroidery floss were added to finish the card. 

I'm also submitting this card for the 
Word Art Wednesday Challenge this week:
Word Art Wednesday #147 - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by…check back again tomorrow to see more of the new release by Our Daily Bread Designs!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Hugs,
