ODBD Blog Hop and Three For Thee Challenge!

Hello!!! It is release time at ODBD!!! This month we have something extra special!!! We have a bread basket design team blog hop to showcase the three new sets released!!! We also have a Three For Thee challenge you can participate in to have a chance to win one of the new releases. Keep reading to find out how to play!

For my card, I am using the newly released ODBD Get Well and Friendship sets. The challenge is to create a pocket of any type. For my pocket challenge, I created a simple slot pocket design. This pocket measures 3 7/8 X 2 7/8. This size is perfect for adding scripture or a gift card directly to the front of your card or to the inside.

My slot pocket is scored with the score pal and folded at the bottom. I opted to create a warm vintage feel to my card. I am using some ranger ink antique linen to give a soft glow. I also added the soft suede ink around the edges of the creams and soft suede cardstock to create some aged depth to the paper. I decided to do some faux stitching. I used the ornare piercing pad. The pad and piercing tool are fabulous. The mat is big enough to work with so I do not have to move the paper so much or at all. Just slide the piercing template of choice around and that helps keep things lined up properly. I went over the pierced holes with a fine tip permanent marker to create the faux stitching. I sanded around all of the edges and the stitched part to make it alittle more distressed. The edges more so because my cutting blade was starting to dull a bit. I backed my pocket with a frame and added small portion of a fiskars border punch to mimic the look of the background dp image.

For my actual tag, I am using a label four spellbinders nestabilities die cut. I stamped using vintage cream pigment ink and clear embossed. I sponged some soft suede over the whole area and buff off the ink on the embossed scripture. I did the dtp technique with the vintage cream ink around the edges.

Here is a closeup of the tag showing the embossed as well as the dtp edge detailing.
To finish my tag I added coordinating ribbon and some pearls. I wanted my pearl accents alittle darker so I altered them with a copic marker.

Don't forget to keep hopping along to the following bread basket blogs to see what they created with pockets using the new sets. As always, thanks so much for stopping by!!!
