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.

    Gorgeous card, I really like the techniques you used. The twine is a great companion to the lighthouse, it finishes off the card nicely as does the scripture. It never ceases to amaze me how well you pair off or put together items. You do that as well as you find ways to put together punches, such talent!

    Wow, I am behind on my blog hopping. I had to comment on two posts on the same day. Sorry, hope you didn’t think I got lost. Those cards are awesome. The Easter lily is is bright and cheerful, it almost makes me forget about all of this snowy weather up here in Ohio. The lighthouse card is fabulous. It has a great masculine look to it, which is a look that I have a terrible time creating. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Congrats to you, Shirley!
    Some years back I had a friend going through a post partum depression. A very difficult time, to say the least! I do recall bringing her soups and stews (anything easy to reheat) as well as frozen rolls of cookie dough. She already had a small one at home so fresh baked cookies were a welcome gesture that didn’t require much of her time.
    She soo appreciated the extra help, as did her husband :)
    A friend is most welcome during a difficult time!ReplyCancel

Today I’m excited to share a peek at a new release from Our Daily Bread Designs.  The name of this set is I Am The Way and I’m happy to hint that it is an Easter Set!!  I Am the Way is scheduled to be released on Sunday, February 1st.  Stay tuned and visit the rest of the Our Daily Bread Design Team to see additional peeks.

I pulled my very favorite papers for this sample, so if you feel like you’ve seen them before . . . you have!  The base is cream colored cardstock that I’ve layered with a metallic gold and dotted gold paper. On the main panel I’ve cut two frames with the Spellbinders Labels Four Die and crisscrossed them for an interesting squared center frame.  I stamped the sentiment on my ribbon and pulled it through the square in the frame;  the frames are then embellished with small pearls.  Finally the card is topped off with a bow and button.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs; I Am The Way
Paper:  The Paper Company; Blonde Columns, Dotted Gold, Gold Foil
Ink:  Black Brilliance
Accessories:  Spellbinders Labels Four Die, Ribbon, Pearls, JBH Vintage Button
 
I’m working on a quick tutorial to show you how I made the filigree flower medallion yesterday.  It should be ready soon, so be sure to check back

  • BarbJanuary 25, 2009 - 8:39 am

    This is such a beautiful, beautiful card. The sentiment stamped on the ribbon reminds me of how you often see the cross in churches drapped in satin as a reminder that Christ is no longer in the tomb but that He is risen. I love the papers you used, the white ribbon and the gold. What perfect colors you chose for an Easter card and the perfect scripture as well. White represents a number of things- the purity of Jesus, forgiveness of our sins as in being washed white as snow, and the gold representing the glory of God. Pearls in a work always make me think of the story in the bible of the merchant who sold all for that one priceless pearl… and to think that Jesus gave His all for us because He considered us to be as priceless pearls. Just an awesome, awesome piece of art Becca. I also love what you did with the frame- gorgeous!
