ODBD Bread Basket

Tuesday, May 7, 2013
Happy Tuesday Friends!! I hope you all are receiving more sunshine than we are here in Virginia.  It is so hard to believe it is Spring.  Our temperatures have been in the 50's to low 60's, windy and rainy.  Just kind of blah and makes you feel tired and lazy.

With Mother's Day right around the corner, I thought I would make a Mother's Day card incorporating this week's Shining the Light challenge at ODBD which is to use four letters from the word Spring to make a card.  Using the sets Happy Mother's Day and Mother's Day as well as the Quatrefoil Pattern Die from Our Daily Bread designs, I created a card to meet this challenge.

 Here are the letters and ingredients used:
S= Scallops, Silk, P= Pink, Poppy, R=Ribbon, I=Ink, N=Nestabilities, G=Green.

I apologize for the quality picture...I had an awful time photographing this card.


Our Daily Bread Designs, Chris Olsen, Happy Mother's Day, Mother's Day, Quatrefoil Pattern Die

My background was created by layering ink on my brayer and rolling it over an embossing folder (Darice Fleur De Lis).  The bow is created with Becca's peg bow maker and silk ribbon. The sentiment is created with the Happy Mother's Day Stamp set and the Custom Odbd Recipe and Tags die . The image is Mother's Day colored with copics cut out with the poppy die cut and adhered with dimensionals on the Spellbinders Labels four and Gold Labels Four

Card Recipe:
ODBD Stamps Used: Happy Mother's Day and Mother's Day
ODBD Dies Used:  Quatrefoil Pattern DieCustom Odbd Recipe and Tags die 
Spellbinders Dies Used: Labels 4, Gold Labels Four and A2 Scalloped Borders One
Ink: Bridal Bouquet, Black, Copics
