You Warm My Heart!



Print  
I am playing along with this week's MFT Weekly Sketch Challenge and The Color Throwdown.  I just love these warm colors and this fun sketch!


For my card, I started with MFT Card Stock Sampler.  I am using Primitive Cream, Factory Green, and Tangy Orange.   I cut the background factory green using Blueprints 16.   I used Proof Positive Cover Up to cut the top portion.  I cut this cover up using factory green and primitive cream card stocks.  I stamped the factory green panel with Fine Check background using versamark.  I inked the edges with versamark as well.  I inlaid the primitive cream proof positive pieces to mimic the sketch.   I love how it turned out.  It looks like a warm quilt pattern.


Next, I die cut the deer from Christmas Cuteness dienamics.  I stamp the deer from the coordinating Christmas Cuteness stamp set.  I used MFT Hybrid Ink Black Licorice ink pad.  I colored with copics.  I added a few touches of gold glitter to the antlers.  

For the sentiment, I die cut the double ended stitched fishtail die from Blueprints 2.  I stamped the sentiment from LLD Perk Up stamp set.  I used some soft yellow ink to stamp the stitched swirl image onto the sentiment panel to add some extra whimsy.  I die cut the tiny heart in tangy orange card stock using the smaller heart image from LLD Coffee Cup die namics.    I added some richness to the tangy orange heart using versamark.

ODBD For the Love of Backgrounds HOP!

 Welcome to Our Daily Bread Design's  Alumni Team's bi-monthly For the Love Blog Hop.  This week the Alumni team along with some of the ODBD designers are featuring a hop for the Love of ODBD Backgrounds!  If you get lost along the way, go to ODBD Blog for the full link list.  One of the post is a hot spot and a name will be drawn from that list of comments to win a $15 ODBD store gift certificate.  So, all you have to do is hop along and see all the creations and leave a little love!  So, get hopping and enjoy all the inspiration using for the Love of ODBD Backgrounds!   If you got here from Silke's blog you are in the right spot. 




For my card I am using ODBD Vintage Border Background stanp and Scripture Collection 7. I stamped the background in Memento tuxedo black ink onto kraft cardstock.  I ink distressed the edges and use a brown copic marker to color inside the open spaces of the background for some added dimension.  I  layered a Labels 20 Spellbinder's die.  I sponged inside the frame with some Ranger Vintage Photo.  I used the stamp a ma jig to position the scripture perfectly.  I added a seam binding bow topped with a pink paper flower and green leaves clipped from another flower stem.  I finished with a few tiny gold pearls.   I love the added depth and dimension the background gives without competing with the focal scripture.  


As always thanks so much for stopping by!  
Next on the hop is Fran!
