Dec. Release Blog Hop!

The-ways-you-show-you-care-

Hello friends!  Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs Dec. Release Blog Hop!  If you got here from Gemiel's Beautiful Blog, you are in the right place!  If not, you should start at the ODBD Blog so you don't miss a thing!  There are lots of goodies up for grabs this month.... so be sure to follow the rules to qualify to win one of the prizes!

Here are the details of the Blog Hop:

The Hop will run 8am EST Dec 1 til 8pm EST Dec 2. The winners will be announced on the ODBD Blog on Dec 3.


There will be SIX prizes of Choice of 1 FREE SET!!! 
Merry Christmas!!!

 Here is what you need to do to be in the drawing for these SIX prizes:

  • Hop to each blog listed below, leaving a comment for each designer
  • Return here to this post and let us know you completed the hop and left comments  for each designer, or make note of any you could not comment on
  • In this same comment, answer the question on the ODBD Blog
Now on to my card details:

I used Simple Things and the custom Die Cut to cut it out, and the Honeycomb Background.  I stamped my images with Memento and colored with Copics.  I stamped the sentiment with VersaColor.  I used Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish Die to cut my vines, and Spellbinder's Labels 21 and Fleur de Lis Accents to frame the sentiment.  My base is Bazzill, and the white is Gina K Pure Luxury heavy weight.  I embossed the Honeycomb bg with T Holtz Distress Embossing Powder in Antique Linen.  I kept the card flat and mailable with only some tiny pearls added to the corners.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed my creation....
