Our Daily Bread 2nd Anniversary Challenge: Day Three: Silver or Gold

Silver and Gold are the traditional gifts for those special milestones in a marriage... the 25th and 50th Anniversaries. Today's challenge on ODB is to make a project that includes silver and/ or gold. I have chosen Gold and created the card with a particular song in mind. I've used one of ODB's stamps from their You are the Potter set and used Copics to color it. I used nesties for each panel. I found this pretty ribbon in my stash that matches quite nicely. The song is featured on the inside of the card. This song, Refiner's Fire, is one of my very favorites. If you'd like to hear it, scroll down to my playlist and select #107. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are blessed today.

Our Daily Bread 2nd Anniversary Challenge: Day two: china

The "contemporary" gift for the second anniversary is CHINA. ODB has an Inspiration Challenge that involves "CHINA" today. I have done a teapot and cup/saucer. The teapot is done in Iris Folding and the cup/saucer is cut out and then a photo of the pancy print behind it. The pattern was created by Ingrid from New Zealand. I layered Nesties fro the sentiment (computer generated) and used a piece of vellum to make the tea-bag pocket. I outlined the pot and c/s with a copic marker and used a gold Uni-Ball pin around the c/s, to reflect the gold rim on so many china pieces. Purple is my favorite color, so I enjoyed using lots of it here. The piece is rather large at 7.25" X 7.25". I think I may frame it without glass and allow the recepient to hang it in her kitchen and replace the teabag whenever she wants to.

Thanks for stopping by. God bless your day!

Card Positioning Systems 106

Hi. This is a birthday card for my daughter-in-law who is expecting our first grandchild! I really enjoyed this sketch. Here's the link:

I punched out 4 different sizes of the daisy in mostly pink shades with some yellow and ivory, then stacked them together for two large flowers. I drew glue over the tips of the petals and applied Martha Stewart glitter. I used two-sided tape to glue the glitter onto the smaller flowers. For the medallion, I used Nesties, then stamped it with a Hero Arts sentiment, and cuttlebugged the inner circle. I hope she likes it!
Thanks for looking!
