Directing Paths

Hello Everyone!!!  Before I went to Melbourne I coloured this bridge image from the new Our Daily Bread set called For The Graduate.  I had it all coloured (with Copics on X-press It Blending Card) and cut out (with Mega Curved Rectangles) and just didn't have time to make it into a card until I got home!  :)  Once home (and had access to my computer again!) I came across this week's The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge 55 and thought it would work well with this image.

I started with a base of white and layered with kraft and some Urban Garden DSP.  The rectangle panel is more kraft layered with Not Quite Navy and then across the bottom is a panel of white border punched with EK Success Dotted Wave and layered with yet more kraft and some white satin ribbon.  I popped up my bridge scene from For the Graduate that has been coloured with Copics (quite a few too and from memory, B00, B02, YG00, YG03, YG63, V15, B21, E29, E31, E33, E35, E37 and Blender).  To finish I added a small satin bow to the corner.

I used the verse, also from For the Graduate, to decorate the inside of the card, stamping it in Not Quite Navy and cutting it out with Petite Large Oval Nestabilities and matting with the matching scallop and matting with Kraft and Not Quite Navy card.

Be Strong

Hello Everyone!  Today I have another card made using Our Daily Bread designs' new Scripture Collection 3 Set and Vine Borders Set.  This verse was submitted by my Design Team sister Dawn Lusk.  I also used this week's Sweet Stop Sketch SSS49.

I started with a base of Very Vanilla and layered with Kiwi Kiss and a piece of Kaisercraft Devonshire DSP.  The panel across the card is more Devonshire DSP matted with brown bazzill punched with the Fleur de Lis Border Punch.    The large rectangle panel is Kiwi Kiss layered with more Devonshire DSP and over the top of these two panels I've added some 1/2" dark cream satin ribbon.  The feature panel has been stamped using Vine Borders and Scripture Collection 3 both by Our Daily Bread Designs.  The Vine Borders was stamped in Old Olive and then I added a little colouring to the flowers.  The verse has been stamped in Close to Cocoa and then matted with more brown bazzill and popped up with Foam Tape.  To finish I added a couple of Kaisercraft Chino Pearls and a bow made with my Bow Easy.

Stamps - Scripture Collection 3, Vine Borders (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper - Very Vanilla, Sienna Bazzill, Kiwi Kiss, Kaisercraft Devonshire DSP
Ink - Old Olive, Close to Cocoa

SSS39 All Creatures Great and Small

Hello everyone!!  Today I was surfing around the net and decided to play The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge - SSS39.  This week, not only do you follow the sketch, the twist is to only have a sentiment as the focal point!  (Even better - there's a prize up for grabs this week too!!!  )  I thought of the new ODBD set Noah's Ark and this adorable sentiment!  :)  This was a great, quick, fun sketch to play with!

I started with a base of Bravo Burgundy and layered with pale pink bazzill and SEI First Kiss PP (double sided).  I then took the middle piece of paper and matted it with more BB that had been punched with the Fiskars Lace Border Punch.  The sentiment is from ODBD's Noah's Ark stamp set and has been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and cut with Mega Long Rectangle Nestabilities and matted with some more BB.  Underneath the sentiment I knotted some pink/burgundy reversible ribbon and above the sentiment I punched two Martha Stewart Monarch Butterflies in pink and burgundy.  To finish I added a couple of Kaisercraft Rose Pearls to the top and bottom corners.

Stamps - Noah's Ark (ODBD)

Paper - Bravo Burgundy, Pale Pink Bazzill, White, SEI First Kiss PP

Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories - Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly Punch, Mega Long Rectangle Nestabilities, Pink/Burgundy reversible ribbon, Fiskars Lace Border Punch, Kaisercraft Rose Pearls.
