Our Daily Bread Designs – New Releases

Wanna know one of the best things about the first of every month?  It’s a new release day for Our Daily Bread Designs.  Three new sets have been released and they are I Am The Way, Keep My Lamp Burning and May God Hold You.  Click on over and preview the sets – there are lots of sentiments that can be used alone, paired with your other ODBD sets or paired with the other art in the set.  Kelley amazes me each month as she comes up with something totally new and unique that will work with the other sets I have!

The first card is from I Am the Way. 

I watercolored the easter lily then masked it off and airbrushed it with my Copic Airbrush System.  I used the Spellbinders Labels One die and I kept my image inside the diecut while airbrushing to get the white frame around the image.  The next time I do this image, I’ll emboss with gold, but I also like the image embossed in black.  The base card is cut out with the Spellbinders Curved Rectangles and the vellum overlay is cut out with the same die cut.

The next card is from Keep My Lamp Burning.  I consider this a "theme" stamp and just looking at it conjures up and image of what can be done with it.  I love all the nautical elements around the lighthouse and the accompanying sentiments are perfect.  This is a little bit of a departure for me, but this was fun to work on and I used a couple of techniques that I don’t often use.

The lighthouse is stamped on coffee paper that I have had in my stash for years.  You ask what is coffee paper?  Well, it’s plain old white typing paper that I soaked with coffee, hoping to get stains and splotches and the like.  I took that paper and stamped on it with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink then burned some of the edges and sooted in other places on the image.  I embellished with dark brass brads and added twine.  The sentiment is mounted on a Spellbinders Label Four onto which I mounted a Spellbinders Tag.   The paper on top is distressed with a paper edge distresser.  On each layer and on the sentiments I smudged with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.   Oh, I love this set and for my first time out of the box with it I wanted to do something different.
