Happy Birthday Kelley!The Sticks in the Bread basket have gotten together a little blog hop for Kelley showing her some cards that are coming her way real soon! I recently had the privilege of visiting Kelley at the Our Daily Bread designs booth at the Anderson, SC Heirloom Stamp Show. While we were admiring the booth, she mentioned that some of the sample cards were starting to look faded and could use some updating. Well Kelley's wish is my command and on the way home I started planning.... and since her birthday is today, this is what we came up with!
So.... Kelley, here is the card I made for you with this "I Wait for the Lord" set. It's my first time playing with the set but I hope it will look bright and shiny on your display boards because it's really a great set! The base is Bazzill, the dp is BasicGrey Jovial and the Paper Studio Gold textured dp. I used Spellbinders Lacey Circles, Nellie's Scalloped Rectangles, laced sparkly green ribbon through the Nellies Frame, and added gold beads and diamond glaze to the candles. The image is colored with Copics and highlighted with a Sharpie White Paint Pen. Next time I'll use the colors of the Advent Wreath Candles, but this time I wanted them neutral. Hope you like it! Seems funny making a Christmas Card for your birthday... but LOL.... this was what I thought you'd like.
From here, please hop to Sandee, Randi and Connie!

Your card is beautiful! I love my advent wreath, it seems that many people do not use them at any of the churches I visited along my way!
I love how elegant your card is. Your coloring of the wreath is so beautiful. I love all of the die cuts being layered above a few different design papers. This is wonderful!
