I'm sure by now you've noticed that the new Christmas Ornaments set is being used with the new 2010 Heirloom Ornaments Spellbinders......Our Daily Bread designs is so proud and pleased to be chosen by the Spellbinders company as a Preferred Stamp Partner.  Our partnership with Spellbinders will be a blessing to the stamping community as well, as we expand our line to include perfect match sentiments, Scriptures and images to Spellbinders products.  We look forward to a long and blessed partnership with such a fine product as Spellbinders.

Today I chose to showcase the new Blessings stamp set by ODBD!  The one I chose reminded me when I was a teenager and even in my 20's when life got hard, my Mum would say to me...'Count Your Blessings and put me near the top; I love you.'  So I guess this card is dedicated to my wonderful Mother!  :)

I started with a base of pale pink, layered with white, darker pink and some Memory Box Gossamer DP.  The next panel is more dark pink layered with white that's been embossed with Victoria EF.  Next I cut some dark pink with the Lacey Circles Nestabilites and glued it into place and then attached a pink satin ribbon over the top.  I stamped the sentiment from Blessings in Memento Tuxedo Black onto white and cut it out with Large Circle Nestabilities and attached it over the top of the ribbon and Lacey Circles panel.  Next I took some ZVA flowers and glued them and some branches (cut with the MS Branch punch) below the sentiment and at the top of the embossed panel.  To finish I added a pink bow made with my Bow Easy and a few white pearls to the top corner.
