Winner will be posted on the ODBD Blog on September 4th, so be sure to check back there to see if you have won.Now on to my card details....
For my first sample, I used a sentiment from the Jingle Bells set, and paired that with three of the GORGEOUS Fancy Ornament Dies! I used blue metallic paper, silver metallic paper, and blue card stock from Hobby Lobby, on a white base. I also embossed a layer of white with a Spellbinders EL-009 embossing folder. I embellished with a punched glitter pine bough edge punch from Martha Stewart, and a tiny silver bow. The sentiment is stamped with Memento, and cut with SU! punches.
For my second sample, I used O Little Town of Bethlehem Backgroud.
I used a prima flower from my stash but to make it more sparkly, I added crystal effects to the tips of the petals and then added chunky glitter. A May Arts ribbon finished it off. This really was a pretty quick card to make! It's simple enough to be made in mass, and yet has enough "extras" to make it elegant and festive.
Here are the ODBD products I used today:

Music is always a winner with me - I just bought one of the hymn backgrounders in the sale - so of course I love the Little Town of Bethlehem and the lovely soft monochromatic treatment. But those ornaments - wow! They remind me of the brass ornaments we bought the first year we were married. Hanging them from the silver border is a lovely touch.
ReplyDeleteI've been searching for an appropriate holiday design to use for my bible study classmates and I found it here. I'm really glad you posted/shared your card with us all. I will be using your design as a guide line for my project. Thank you and wishing you a great day.
