So, get hopping and enjoy all the inspiration using For the Love of ODBD Backgrounds!
I've kept my card clean and simple so as to show off the
Brocade Background as well as incorporating 4th Anniversary Themes (to help celebrate ODBD's big anniversary week) - Blue for Blue Topaz and the traditional Flowers! The base is blue bazzill, layered with yellow and white. I've taken another piece of white, stamped it with
Brocade Background in Memento Summer Sky and attached it to the previous layers. Around this is a piece of ribbon. The sentiment is from
Serenity Prayer and has been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and cut with Large Oval Nestabilities and matted with more blue cut with Lacey Oval Nestabilities and all popped up on foam tape. To finish I've added a few small roses, branches and pearls to the top corner.
Stamps - Serenity Prayer, Brocade Background (ODBD)
Paper - Blue, Yellow and White cardstock
Ink - Memento Summer Sky, Tuxedo Black
Accessories - Large Oval, Lacey Oval Nestabilities, May Arts Satin Ribbon, ZVA roses, MS Branch Punch, Kaisercraft Pearls.
Next on the hop today is the lovely
SILKE!!!
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the hop!!! :)
