I Thank God!



The ODBD Anniversary Week blog hop and blog candy continues!!! ODBD started last year on March 17th!!! We are celebrating a wonderful year with fabulous daily prizes, tutorials, and card samples of sets released during the year. I am showcasing ODBD Flourished Christian Symbols. I love this set because it offers some wonderful sentiments and scriptures as well as three flourished silhouette images.

I wanted to keep the card clean and simple(CAS) and not add any additional layers, so I stamped the flourished dove that comes in the set directly to the dp. I love how it sort of is there, but blends in, too. Between this dp and the dove image it almost looks like there is movement. Like the dove is really flying. I wanted the scripture to stand out alittle more so I stamped it in Palette Vanilla Cream. It is not embossed. I just gave it time to dry. Next, I stamped several of the sentiments and the same scripture in Palette Noir onto the flower. I love this look. I added one cream button with some closely matching hemp cording. Adds a bit of rustic flair. I added a pierced scalloped border for some detailing as well as pierced corder in the bottom right of the card.
