Okay... now on to my cards. I have two to share with you today! This card uses the new Confirmation set. Here I did the stained mosaic technique! LOVE this technique!! There is a great tutorial for it over on SCS to get all the details! The image was cut out and framed with a Labels 4 Nestabilities. The DP on this card is from SEI Sweet Perfume Pearls paper, which was torn and distressed with some Tea Dye Distress ink. The background panel was cuttlebugged with the Floral Screen EF. To finish off the card, I added the sentiment along with some thin satin ribbon!
For my second card, I kept it quite simple because I wanted to showcase this AMAZING paper in the ODBD store from SEI called Juliette Printed Velvet Paper. Yep!! It is velvet and soooo very soft! I just added the sentiment from the Baptism and Confirmation Verses set, which is stamped in Aged Mahogany Distress ink and cut out with my creative memories oval cutter. Then to finish it off, I added a few Hero Art half back black pearls, and some black satin ribbon!
From here hop on over to Sandee's blog to see what great inspiration she has for you today! Have fun hopping, and Happy New Year from the Our Daily Bread designs Bread Basket!
