Psalm 62:1- My Soul Finds Rest in God Alone

Hi Friends! 

Wow, I cannot believe that August 2016 will be over for us here in the Mid Atlantic in a few hours!!  This summer has gone by fast for sure :-)

I have a few more cards that I created with the Our Daily Bread Designs August 2016 Release stamps that I wanted to share and this card was designed with the new ODBD By The Sea stamp set along with the ODBD By The Shore Collection 6x6 Paper Pad.

I love the pelican image along with the verses and sentiments in the ODBD By The Sea stamp set as well as the new By The Shore Collection 6x6 Paper Pad- so many fabulous summer scenes and paper pattern designs! 

Psalm 62:1  "My soul finds rest in God Alone" is so comforting to me!

As I have mentioned in previous posts, my husband Dave and I enjoy watching birds- we find that enjoying nature and God's masterpiece of creation allows us to "Rest in Him" for sure! 

I am linking this card up to the Word Art Wednesday #246-#247 “Anything Goes”Challenge and the Splitcoaststampers’ MIX173 “Frame It” Challenge.  

I think that the large die from the ODBD Ornate Ovals Dies makes a very nice frame for the pelican, don't you?

If you have not had a chance to visit the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog or the two challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Die cut and emboss a piece of dark brown cardstock with the ODBD Flourished Star Pattern Die, mount onto a piece of sky blue cardstock, trim close to the die cut and mount onto the white card base.

Die cut and emboss a piece of sand cardstock with the ODBD Lavish Layers Dies, mount onto a piece of the ODBD By The Shore Collection 6x6 Paper (die cut and embossed with the ODBD Rectangles Dies) and set aside.

Die cut an oval from the ODBD By The Shore Collection 6x6 Paper (I used the sky area) with the ODBD Ovals Dies and mount this oval onto a die cut a piece of white cardstock (die cut and embossed with the largest die from the ODBD Ornate Ovals Dies).

Stamp the sentiment from the ODBD By The Sea stamp set with archival black ink onto white cardstock, die cut and emboss with the ODBD Layered Lacey Ovals Dies and mount onto the layered panel created in the above step.

Ink the pelican image from the ODBD By The Sea stamp set with archival black ink, stamp onto white cardstock, color with watercolor pencils (adding just a bit of water and applying layers of color for more dimension), fussy-cut the image and mount onto the layered panel with dimensional foam.

Adhere the triple taffeta ribbon bow along with the antique brad in the center (wrap the ends of the ribbon behind the panel) and mount the entire panel onto the card front.

Add a white highlight to the pelican's eye with a extra fine white paint pen and use a clear glitter pen to add glitter to the feathers (difficult to see this both in the photo) to finish off the card.

Thanks again for visiting- hugs and have a blessed week, my friends!

ODBB August 2016 Mid-Month New Release Reminder

Hi Friends! 

I hope all of you are having a great week so far!  Today we are taking a look back at the Our Daily Bread Designs August 2016 Mid-Month Release!  These stamps, dies and papers are perfect for summer, nautical and masculine cards, scrapbook pages and 3-D projects!

I know that you will not want to miss out on the inspiration from the rest of the Breadbaskets and we would love to have you visit each of our blogs as well as the ODBD blog- please see more details below...

My first card features the new You Anchor Me (Stamp/Die Duo-Clear Stamps) along with the Flourished Star Pattern Die, Ornate Ovals Dies, Ovals Dies, Double Stitched Rectangles Dies and the new By The Shore Collection 6x6 Paper Pad. I added a piece of rope that I "upcycled" from a shipping package as well and used the  Leafy Edged Border Dies a guide to create the sloping angles for the paper layers :-)

I think that this card could be perfect for an encouragement for either a guy or a gal, don’t you?

My second card features the new By The Sea stamp set along with the Lavish Layers Dies, Double Stitched Circle Dies, Double Stitched Rectangle Dies and the new By The Shore Collection 6x6 Paper Pad.

My husband and I love watching birds and even though we do not have a chance to see pelicans that often, it was fun to color this image and recall the times that we have visited areas where pelicans were hanging around :-)  In fact, until I "googled" for images of pelicans, I did not realize how many different types of pelicans there are in the United States- I chose a white pelican for my image today.  

I had so much fun designing these cards with the August 2016 Mid-Month Release and know you will as well!! I hope you will take the time to visit the rest of my Breadbasket Design Team Sisters to check out their gorgeous creations!

SC607 You Anchor Me!

Hi Friends!

I hope all of you are having a great week so far!  

Dave and I had a chance to slip away to Shenandoah National Park yesterday and the weather was fabulous!  We saw four bears and an Olive-Sided Flycatcher (I know, unless you enjoy bird watching, you may not understand but this flycatcher is fairly rare in this area, so we determined that it must have been migrating). Also, this was the first time we have ever seen this bird so it is considered a “life bird” for us :-).  All in all, a glorious day!

Today I am sharing my card for the Splitcoaststampers’ SC607 Sketch Challenge (I decided to flip the sketch) and I am highlighting the Our Daily Bread Designs(ODBD) Mid-August 2016 Release in the design :-)

In addition to the SC607 Sketch, I also am linking to the Word Art Wednesday #244-#245 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not already visited the above challenge sites, I hope you will have a chance to do so- fabulous inspiration from my DT Sisters at the SCS607 Sketch Gallery as well as the wonderful Word Art Wednesday challenge site!

To create this card:

Ink the ODBD Rope Background stamp with walnut distress ink and stamp onto a piece of taupe cardstock.

Die cut the stamped background panel with the ODBD Flourished Star Patterns Die, mount onto a piece of aqua cardstock, trim close to the edge, mount onto the dark brown card front and mount onto the white card base.

Die cut two pieces of the ODBD By The Shore Collection 6x6 Paper with the ODBD Rectangles Dies (one with the Jesus fish print and the other with the chevron pattern).

Mount the die cut Jesus fish print panel onto a die cut piece of aqua cardstock (die cut with the ODBD Double Stitched Rectangles Dies) and adhere to a piece of dark brown cardstock.

Mount the die cut chevron print onto a piece of aqua cardstock, trim close to the edge and mount onto the dark brown cardstock.

Stamp the sentiment from the ODBD You Anchor Me (Stamp/Die Duo- Clear Stamp Set) using black archival ink and stamp onto white cardstock, die cut with the ODBD Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, mount onto aqua cardstock, trim close to the edge, mount onto dark brown cardstock and adhere the sentiment behind the chevron print panel.

Layer the fish print panel per the sketch and add the chevron print panel.

Die cut a piece of dark brown cardstock with the ODBD Lavish Layers Die, layer onto a piece of white cardstock, adhere loops of kraft seam binding, add the dark brown brads and mount onto the card front.

Die cut the ODBD Anchor Die (part of the You Anchor Me Stamp/Die Duo- Clear Stamps) from champagne metallic paper, lightly sand with a sanding block, add the burlap ribbon threads and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam to finish off the card.

I hope this card inspires you to create a project this week, and if so, come play along with us at Splitcoaststampers!

Thanks again for visiting- hugs and have a blessed week, my friends!
