Hello everyone! I hope your week is going well! My Grandkids went home yesterday and I spent today trying to get caught up with some projects. This card is a sneak peek at two of the new Our Daily Bread designs sets to be released on June 1st! I'm so excited about these sets! You do not want to miss the Blog Hop on June 1st!I used this week's Midnight Madness Sketch for my layout. My base is Blush Blossom and then Papertrey Vintage Cream which I embossed with the Cuttlebug and lightly sponged the embossed areas with Blush Blossom. My lacing elements are triangles cut out to expose the base, then laced with gold cord from my stash.
My image is from the soon to be released Our Daily Bread designs set "From Me To You". I LOVE Fuschia and have been having so much fun coloring this image.... but for this card I simply embossed it in gold and then painted it with Opal Shimmerz. I wish that showed up in the photo, but it doesn't. The verse is from a "surprise" set to be released on the first as well!!!! That's all I'm going to say for now! You'll have to check back then to find out more about it! I embossed on Blush Blossom CS and then matted that on more cream. I cut out part of the image for more interest. I added wide lace and some gold lace by Webster's Pages.
I am linking this to the following challenges:
ABC Challenge - Vintage
Crafty Creations - Favorite Stamp (This is a new favorite for sure!!!)
Quixotic Challenge - Emboss It
