Purple Finches and Flowers… a Sneak Peek

A peek at several new things coming April 1 from Our Daily Bread designs! A little different look, some collage stamps and some yummy dies!!

This is a combo of Finch Collage and Hymn Collage along with Scripture Collection 10 {Mar Anniversary release}, and the Exclusive Custom Quatrefoil Pattern die. The tag is also from the March release, Recipe Card and Tags die.

I used Spellbinders Grand Labels 4 for all my layers, several pieces of thin cardboard are between the front and back.

My base layer is simply sponged clouds from my cloud template. I then cut a layer with the ODBD Exclusive Quatrefoil Pattern die and put over the top of the clouds.

The collage layer is the Finch Collage and Hymn Collage, stamped carefully along the edges and colored with Copics, Grand Labels 4 partially cut just inside the top and then the fussy cutting with a craft knife. {you can use a piece of scrap paper to roughly mask one side of the tag when stamping the other side if you want… I just mainly inked up what I wanted stamped}

I embellished over the collages with the Recipe Card and Tags die stamped with Scripture Collection 10 and sponged with distress ink around the edges.

I stamped and colored Hymn Collage again for the extra cut out flowers and added some Cheery Lynn Designs Tropical and Fanciful Flourishes, also colored with Copics. A few Martha punched Branches, and Want2Scrap pearls….and done!

I even finished the back!

Be sure to check in April 1 for the complete release! Some amazing creations for sure!!

Thanks for stopping!

A Creative Day…Hemmed & Llamas In The News

And continue 0n through the day!

It was my turn to do the blog post for Die Cut Diva and Creative Cuts and More. I decided to use this Accordion Insert With A6 Card out of Bazzill Watermelon Sensation and Neenah White. The quote is stamped on Antique Label (small). (actually, the DCD post has been moved to Aug 3)

The outer edges are embossed with Kassie’s Brocade.

This is a peek at the Our Daily Bread designs release, August 1. The quote is from the Full of Grace series, Weave In Faith. See that beautiful Flower Border? That’s exactly what it’s called and it was designed to coordinate with Spellbinders Labels 18!

I stamped it on Basic Grey Sweet Threads, colored with Copics, then added some Flower Soft!

 

And the front? Simply done with Italian Flourish from Cheery Lynn Designs. ODBD just started carrying these! They are so intricate and cut beautifully!

The DP is more Basic Grey Sweet Threads, and the pearls are from Want2Scrap.

Hope your day wasn’t unraveled!
