ODBDSLC278 Dots and Dashes

Hi Friends! 

Welcome to the new  Our Daily Bread Designs ODBDSLC278 “Dots and Dashes” Shining the Light Challenge !

We want to see your dots and dashes (for ex: pierced dies, stitched dies, polka dot paper, etc.) and  are looking forward to seeing what you create!

You have until October 2^nd to join us for a chance to be spotlighted for the Shining the Light award or to win a $15 ODBD gift certificate (one random participant will be chosen).  To be spotlighted for the Shining the Light Award, you must use ODBD stamps (or stamps from our sister companies: North Coast Creations or Artistic Outpost). 

I decided to create a card combining the new ODBD September 2016 Release stamp sets, A-Maize-ing and Seasons Change along with the coordinating ODBD Indian Corn Die. 

For my dashes, I used the ODBD Double Stitched Rectangles Dies as well ODBD Ornate Hearts Die (embossed dashes along the edge of the center solid heart- a bit difficult to see in the photo) and for my dots- the outside border of the ODBD Ornate Hearts Die has piercing as well as the as the frame of the ODBD Flourished Star Pattern Die and the ODBD Filigree Frames Dies used for the sentiment. 

I also used the ODBD Rectangles Dies and the background paper is from the ODBD Americana Quilt Collection 6x6 Paper Pad.

To create this card:

Die cut a piece of berry cardstock with the ODBD Flourished Star Pattern Die, mount onto a piece of white cardstock, trim close to the die cut edge and mount this onto the berry card base.

Die cut a piece of the ODBD Americana Quilt Collection 6x6 Paper Pad with the ODBD Rectangles Dies,  mount onto a piece of white cardstock die cut with the ODBD Double Stitched Rectangle Dies and layer this panel onto the card front.

Wrap a piece of berry satin ribbon over the entire card front (wrapping the ribbon ends behind the card front) and mount the entire card front onto the white card base.

Ink the A-Maize-ing Indian Corn image with archival black ink and stamp onto a piece of white cardstock. 

Color the image with watercolor pencils and die cut with the ODBD Indian Corn Die (I absolutely love how this die perfectly cuts this image:-)).    

Using the eyelet frame and main heart dies from the ODBD Ornate Hearts Dies, layer onto your platform and die cut both from white cardstock.  Adhere the heart die cuts directly to the card front. 

Add the looped gold cord and mount the colored Indian Corn image with dimensional foam.

Ink the sentiment from Seasons Change with archival black ink, stamp onto a piece of white cardstock and die cut with the ODBD Filigree Frames Dies.

Add the sentiment with dimensional foam to the card front to finish off the card.

If you have not already had a chance to visit my Design Team Sisters’ sites yet, I hope you will find the time to do so!  Fabulous inspiration for sure!
