ODBD July 2016 Release- Sending Hugs

Hi Friends!

I have been stamping away this week and will be able to post some of those creations with you later this week and next, but in the meantime, I wanted to share with you another card using the July 2016 ODBD Release Stamps, Sweet As Perfume and You Bless Me.

I just love the artwork of these gorgeous flowers and since I am allergic to the fragrance of flowers, I can have fun creating these flowers without worrying about an asthma attack- lol!!

I am linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #240/#241 “Anything Goes” Challenge as well as the Tic-Tac-Toe #14 Challenge (third row – add dimension, intricate dies and ribbon).

To create this card:

Layer a piece of ODBD Chalkboard 6x6 Collection paper onto white cardstock, trim and mount onto the black card front.

Die cut and emboss the Vintage Borders Dies from white cardstock, adhere the large frame directly onto the card front and add the smaller border frame with dimensional foam.

Ink the sentiment from You Bless Me with embossing ink, apply gold embossing powder, heat set with a heat tool and die cut/emboss with the Layered Lacey Ovals Dies.

Add the sentiment to the card front along with the black triple satin ribbon bow (wrapping the ends around the card front and trimming the one end that will be covered by the flowers).

Ink the floral images from Sweet As Perfume and You Bless Me with an embossing ink, apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, “fussy-cut” each of the embossed images and layer onto the card front with dimensional foam.

Mount the entire card front onto the white card base and add pearls to the flower centers as well as the corners to finish off the card.

Thanks again for stopping by to visit- hugs and I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!
