Welcome to
Our Daily Bread design's November Release Blog Hop! I'm so happy that you were able to stop by! If you did not start at the
ODBD Blog, please head there to start at the beginning of the hop (for reasons you will NOT want to MISS! Explained below...)
If you came here from
Becca's blog, you're right where you are supposed to be! After you check this out, head to
Anglie Zublionis' blog, then to
Chris Olsen's blog.
Today is the release of three gorgeous new
ODBD Christmas sets: "Blessed Christmas," "Christmas Verses," and "Luke 2:11." I've decided to use the beautiful pointsettia image and Bible verse (Come Let Us Adore Him Let the Heavens Rejoice, Let the Earth Be Glad. Psalm 96:11--stamped inside the card) from "Blessed Christmas."
I stamped my pointsettia image onto pure white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then colored the image with multiple Copic markers, cut it out with a
Spellbinders Label Four die, and sprayed it with
Tattered Angels Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist. The glimmer mist adds a beautiful sheen that unfortunately did not show up well in my photo--it looks amazing IRL! A couple of half pearls add interest.
The gorgeous glimmering decorator paper is SEI's
Winter Glitterland , also from ODBD. I layered my image panel onto another panel die cut from the dp with a Spellbinder's Labels Seven die.
The panels were layered over sheer white ribbon attached to the cardbase. A corner rounder punch was used on the main card base to complete the design.

This week's Stamp Simply Challenge is to be thrifty and use either brown postal wrap, or a brown grocery sack. I cut up a grocery sack for this challenge.
Basic Grey Boxer layers make up the body of the design, along with my paper bag. I ran a layer of grocery sack through my Fiskars paper crimper, then ruffled up the edges to simulate a frilly edged border.
