Christmas Greetings on the elegant side!


Hello friends!  I hope you enjoyed a fabulous weekend!!! 

 Today I have a card I created for today's Feature Focus over on the Our Daily Bread designs blog.... the ODBD Elegant Ovals Dies, which were custom made for ODBD by Spellbinders.  I love these dies and so I was happy to use them for this pretty elegant Christmas Flourished Verses sentiment.  I stamped the frame with  Elegant Oval Frames.    I also used the Poinsettia Background stamp to create my own dp.  I used  a Spellbinders Fancy Weave Frame and a Cheery Lynn Victorian Romance Flourish Die.  The poinsettia background and sentiment are stamped with Brilliance Platinum Ink and then the frame and sentiment are clear embossed.  The shimmery paper is from Michaels. I aplogize for this photo... I took sooooo many tries but could not capture just the exact tone of ink on this card, but I hope you liked it anyway. Sometimes, no matter what you do, your camera just does it's own thing! LOL!  

Here are the ODBD products I used:













I am submitting this to the following challenges:

Have a wonderful week... and if you didn't come here from the Our Daily Bread designs blog, hop on over there to see other samples from the talented design team using this awesome custom die set!

Blessings,

Oh Grace, this is amazingly beautiful. I love the shimmer in your card, that paper is gorgeous.

I'm also excited because my mother bought that brilliance ink for me for either my birthday or Christmas, and I didn't know until now how beautiful it is! I can't wait to get it!

I love all your die cuts, flowers, and that beautiful sentiment. It's such an elegant card.

This is a truly classy card... love the soft gentle hues to it. EVERYTHING is beautiful and befitting about it. I loved what you said about card making - that it is not self focussed. That is a lovely way of looking at it.
