March…….in like a LION
(we’re forecast to get 4-6 inches of snow!),
out like a Lamb!
Nineteen more days until……. SPRING!!!
Welcome to the March release from Our Daily Bread designs! Sit back and enjoy what the we’ve created just for YOU!
This is what I used for my samples today from this release.
I used the basket from Basket of Blessings, colored it with Copics and hand cut it, then filled it full of flowers from Iris and Happy Easter…all fussy cut. Filling in between the flowers, I used Grassy Border die. I can see me using this die A LOT!!! I used Vintage Labels die for the greeting and Flourished Star Pattern die for the gingham layer. I felt kind of bad for covering up the beautiful paper from the Shabby Rose Paper Collection! That cute little gingham bow is from Circle Ornaments die.

My next sample hides nothing and lets the beauty of the Shabby Rose Paper Collection and the beautiful hymn by Charles Wesley, Christ the Lord is Risen Today, shine through! One of my favorite Easter hymns!
I used Ranger Victorian Velvet for the title and Ranger Iced Spruce for the music, embossed in clear. (although these inks stay wet for a while to emboss, I also used Versamark before inking up in the color to ensure a good embossing!)

Be still, my heart!!!! You have hit a home run with both cards!!! The basket of flowers is out of this world.....super clever and gorgeous!! I love the beautiful simplicity of the hymn stamped onto the Shabby Rose paper.....I think I chose the wrong background after seeing this beauty!! HUGS!!
As I sit here with snow drifting down (yikes) your colourful basket of Spring flowers is such a treat to see, Dawn.
Dawn, I'm still trying to pick up my jaw off the floor!! The wonderful sent of daffodils is surely here somewhere, right?? Because looking at your amazing basket of flowers it must be! That card seriously took my breath away. Brilliant design, gorgeous coloring. And your second card in it's beauty and simplicity is a keeper too! I love how you used the different inks to complement the wonderful papers. Gorgeous samples! Hugs & Blessings,
