ODBDSLC278 Seasons Change

Hi Friends! 

Today we have a reminder post for the Our Daily Bread Designs “Shining the Light” ODBDSLC278 “Dots and Dashes” Challenge!

For this reminder post, I designed a card using the September 2016 OurDaily Bread Designs Release Stamp Set, Seasons Change along with the coordinating Wheelbarrow Die and the new Grass Lawn Die and Grass Hill Die (as well as other dies and paper from previous ODBD releases).

I am also linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #248-#249 "Anything Goes" Challenge and hope you will take the time to visit their site as well- fabulous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Die cut a piece of ODBD Ephemera Essentials 6x6 Paper Pad with the ODBD Pierced Rectangles Dies mount onto a piece of white cardstock, trim close to the die cut edge and mount into the pear card base.

Using the ODBD Lavish Layers Die, die cut the frame of the die with white cardstock, keep the cardstock in the frame, position all of the remaining dies from the set into the frame and emboss the cardstock.

Layer the embossed white panel onto the card front.

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

Stamp the wheelbarrow image from the ODBD Seasons Change stamp set with archival black ink onto white cardstock, die cut and emboss the image with the ODBD Wheelbarrow Die.

Color the wheelbarrow image with watercolor pencils and add shimmer with a clear glitter marker to the flowers.

Die cut the Grass Hill Die and Grass Lawn Die from green cardstock and layer onto the card front.

Die cut and emboss a piece of polka dot paper from the ODBD Ephemera Essentials 6x6 Paper Pad with the Small Bow Dies, assemble the bow and add to the card under the sentiment.

Add the wheelbarrow die cut tucking under the grass a bit to finish off the card.

ODBD September 2016 New Release and Blog Hop!

Hi Friends!

Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs September 2016 Release!! Summer is coming to a close here in the Northeastern United States and this release is perfect for crisp Autumn days as well as year-round cards!

I know that you will not want to miss the inspiration from the rest of the ODBD Breadbaskets and we would love to have you hop along with us- see more details below...

My first card features the new ODBD A-Maize-ing stamp set, ODBD Dies- Indian Corn Die, Rectangles Dies, Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, Filigree Frames Dies, Flourished Star Pattern Die and the ODBD Rustic Beauty Collection 6x6 Paper. 

I absolutely love this Indian Corn image in the ODBD A-Maize-ing stamp set and the coordinating ODBD Indian Corn Die matches it perfectly!

My second card features the new ODBD Seasons Change stamp set, ODBD Dies- Wheelbarrow Die, Lavish Layers Dies, Ornate Ovals Dies, Rectangles Dies, Flourished Star Pattern Die, Pierced Squares Dies along with the ODBD Shabby Rose Collection 6x6 Paper.   

**Creative Tip ** I used the ODBD Pierced Square Dies (stacked two together) to cut out the frame to make the photo corners.  

I loved using watercolor pencils to watercolor both images on the cards and the ODBD coordinating dies were so easy to match up to the images- in fact, the ODBD Wheelbarrow Die even cut the spokes on the wheel perfectly!

I hope I have inspired you today and that you will take the time to visit the rest of my ODBD Breadbasket Design Team Sisters to check out their gorgeous creations:
