For my card I started with a base of white and layered with Whirlpool Bazzill and more white. I then took a piece of whirlpool and punched the four edges using the Fiskars Upper Crest Punch. Instead of discarding the outer piece, I used it as a border and embellished with Dew Drops. The centre panel is the punched out panel of whirlpool and a layer of white that has been embossed with the Divine Swirl embossing folder (I tried to get the look of waves!). I stamped the sentiment from Noah's Ark in Sage Shadow and cut it out with the Ribbon Tags Trio 2 and attached with some golden brown satin ribbon. Finally I stamped the Ark in Jet Black Stazon and coloured with markers, cut it out and popped it up with foam tape.
Stamps - Noah's Ark (ODBD)
Paper - White and Whirlpool Cardstock
Ink - Jet Black Stazon, Sage Shadow
Accessories - Markers, Blender Pen, Divine Swirl EF, Fiskars Upper Crest Punch, Dew Drops, Golden Brown Satin Ribbon, Ribbon Tags Trio 2, Scissors, Foam Tape.
From here hop to GRACE to see what great inspiration she has for you today!
Have fun hopping, and Happy New Year from the Our Daily Bread Designs Bread Basket!

Hi! I love what you did with this New Noah's Ark Stamp! It really looks 3D--the way it is framed, but the ark kind of rocks on the waves! So creative! I never would have thought to use white instead of brown on the ark. I guess that's why YOU have your job!
