The Season for Singing has come!


Hello everyone!  I hope you are having a wonderful week! I have been so busy this week, but it's all good!  We are finishing off our basement, and we got to the carpet installation yesterday!  Whoo Hoo!!!  Now to build a desk and I will become a basement stamper!!! Vicky... here I come! LOL!

Today I'm giving you a sneak peek at two new sets coming out at Our Daily Bread designs Mar.1.  This image is from the set called Happy Easter and it is filled with wonderful Easter sentiments and Scriptures.  On the inside I used a Scripture from the set The Lord has Risen.  I used that because I made this card for several different challenges, including the Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge this week, which was based on Esther 4:4, and the challenge was to show the passage of time in some way.  I also used the Midnight Madness Sketch 42.  I tweaked it a bit in that I made my main panel an oval but this Daffodil just says oval to me!



Card Details:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs March release: Happy Easter, The Lord has Risen
Ink: Memento, Certainly Celery
Paper: DP- Lasting Impressions, Making Memories, Bazzill, GP
Accessories:  Copics, Air Brush, Spellbinders Classic Ovals and Scalloped Ovals, SB Fancy Tags, Sewing Machine, Stickles, Ribbon, ZVA Creative Pearls

I am also entering this in the following challenges:

Fussy & Fancy - Dazzle Us (Stickles which don't show in the photo :(  and Pearl Bling)
