Hi there blog friends! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. If you ask me, it’s glorious! ! I’ve been holed up inside for the longest time. This week has been a breath of fresh air to have gotten outside a bit. I have a new card to share today and again, I think it’s unlike my normal card du jour! It contains a sneak peek of a new sentiment that will be fully revealed in the Our Daily Bread Designs blog hop on February 1st. I kept the design simple and did not want to cover the beautiful features of the design paper. So embossing, rather than cutting, with the die template seemed like my best option. I used the Our Daily Bread Designs Grunge Cross die cut; it leaves the faint outline of a cross underneath the stamped sentiment.
It’s a very subtle effect and can be seen much better in real life. I was able to tilt the card to get a good enough picture for you to see the outline. I love the effect and it didn’t cover that wonderful design paper. I finished off with a stacked tiered bow (with no tails) at the bottom of the card.
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – The Sea Paper: Recollections, Hot Off the Press, Bazzill Ink: Versafine Onyx Black Accessories: Our Daily Bread Designs – Cross Die Template, EK Success Border Punch, Prima Bling, Satin Ribbon |
Hugs to you all, I’ll be back tomorrow!!

It’s been quite awhile since I posted. May I say “Amen” to this inspirational card. I love simplicity and this is what it has…the focal point on God’s greatness. Thanks for creating such a sentiment which leaves its meaning in our hearts.

Oh Becca, I love this card and the sentiment is so beautiful and can’t wait to see the whole line.. this new line you have gotten us into I think, is going to be a money breaker.. but it is well worth it.. once we get the stampers we ought to be okay and the sentiments will come slowly.. so many in one package so well worth it and know we can count on you if we have a problem… my problem is I would love to try to incorporate Tilda in one every so often.. Will try to play with that… Probably the birthday ones and the friendship ones… So glad you are you and do the great job you do.. Just love you and am so proud to know you.. Have a great day!!
Hugs, Jean

I forgot to add, the image of the cross in the sentiment is … well, I just don’t know how to describe it. “Brilliant” seems too pedestrian. Anyway, this card is just a ministry. That’s what it is.
January 28, 2012

Beautiful Card. I really like the subtle cross embossed on the design paper.
January 28, 2012

Hi: The comments about the bow maker are so numerous that it’s coming across as jumbled on my screen so I want you to know what I posted. Suzanne Runyeon is really the main host on HSN for crafts. I put on her facebook that she needed to look at your work and at the bow maker….she actually got back with me yesterday and said she was having the HSN buyer check it out at CHA….don’t be surprised if you are on TV one of these days….every since QVC gave up on scrapbooking, crafts and sewing, HSN has been the channel that sells a lot of crafting supplies.
