Paper Tole With ODBD and Helmar

It's been some time since I've really taken the time to do an intricate card...mostly it's stamp it, color it and slap it together! Maybe add a ribbon or some bling! HAHA

I decided it was high time I reeeally played with this set, Mom, from Our Daily Bread designs, being released Thursday... so I did Paper Tole!

It took a while... not so much all the cutting, but because I used Scrap Dots by Helmar which needs sufficient drying time. **edited** some people have asked if Scrap Dots has an odor or if the tip gets clogged. It has a very slight odor...I had to actually go and get the tube to smell it....so, obviously it didn't make a smelly impression on me while making the card! LOL! Also, does the tip clog up? No, it's free flowing all the time! Scrap Dots comes in a tube, squeezes out like thick snot after a bad cold (eewwww, sorry...LOL, but I thought it was a good comparison) and dries stiff! Once it's dry, those leaves and petals aren't going anywhere! You can make your "dot" as tall or as small as you want.

I stamped the floral image 3 times, colored certain flowers and leaves and cut them out....and set them aside while I assembled the base.

This is the Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast. I stamped 2 borders from Vine Borders on Basic Grey Green at Heart, and carefully cut them out. *The striped panel was elongated by using my stamp postitioner and stamping it twice, then I drew in the straight line with a fine tip artist pen. I also cut the panel in half, vertically, to widen it and make it fit the sketch! I also colored in the leaves with a Copic and the flowers with a gel pen.

*The green panel is colored with a Copic marker  and cut in half horizontally to stretch it out to fit the sketch.

Since the striped paper has what looks like stitching, I faux stitched the base and corners of the quote. Zva bling is on each corner of the green panel.

Don't miss our blog hop Thursday! The girls have been making some awesome samples to share with you!!

thanks for stopping!
