January ODBD Challenge!

Welcome to the Our Daily Bread design's January challenge: we were to come up with a design that incorporated the color brown, use of dies or punches, along with the new January release sets! I decided to go with the new "Noah's Ark" set.


The image in "Noah's Ark" is so very fun to color! I used Copic markers for my design today. I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a rustic white cardstock twice. I colored both images, then cut one out and layered it upon the other for a bit more dimension.

I used a textured brown cardstock for the base and frame in my design. The frame around the image panel is a Spellbinder's Frameabilities die: Polka Dot Frame. What a fun frame...I can see this die showing up in many future projects!

Here's a closeup of the die and Copic coloring. You can just see the embossed polka dots on the textured brown in this picture.

In keeping with the polka dot theme for today, I pulled some coordinating decorator papers from my stash. They give just the right feel for this fun filled baby card!

Well, I met my challenge for today...brown color, die cut, and new release! Hope you like it!
