For my center step card above I used the new A True Friend and the gorgeous new ODBD Custom Ornate Ovals Dies. Additionally I used Filagree Frames for the sentiment, Beautiful Borders, and the Pastel Paper Pack. I created the center fold card, adhered the design paper from the Pastel Paper Pack, and die cut the various layers. The image is stamped with Memento ink and colored with Copics, then fussy cut and popped up on foam tape. The Beautiful Borders die was used for the bottom, as was the Filagree Frame. I embellished with a pearl frame on the sides. This image is so beautiful I didn't want to over-embellish!
For the card below, I used the new Forever Friends, and the new Vintage Borders, as well as the Pierced Rectangles and the Blushing Rose Paper Pad. The image was stamped with Memento Ink and colored with Copics, and fussy cut. I used the new Vintage Border set to cut the layers, and matted with a plain pink paper die cut with the Pierced Rectangles. I finished off with a seam binding bow, a tiny heart, and some sticker backed trim.

By way of personal update... I finished my 30 treatments of radiation yesterday! Yay! I have 4 more months of infusions and hopefully this LONG year of treatment will be behind me! God has been so good and has given me the strength needed both physically and emotionally, and most importantly, spiritually! I have much to be thankful for.... including my loving supportive family, friends and church family who have been such a help and support system for me!
To God be the Glory!!!

Your Iris card is absolutely beautiful. Your choice pf papers and dies compliment your lovely and graceful Iris. I really enjoy the thought that card making is gaining in popularity and ODB is one of the major reason.
I'm now thinking of ordering this beautiful series.
FYI: Last week, I had a chance to visit with a friend's card club and when we discussed our favorite stamp companies, 3 names were prominent. Our Daily Bread was one of the three - same with dies.
Hope you are doing well Grace. Gorgeous cards as always.
Lovely cards! I love all the flowers!
Both cards are stunning-great work!
Oh Grace, your iris is so gorgeous in purple and yellow!! I love the deep purple color you achieved and it looks fantastic on the amazing center step card you created! Beautiful papers and dies and pearl accents! Purple iris are my favorite!
I love your second card too with the papers you used and the horizontal layout! Gorgeous! It has a rich vintage look with those papers and colors!! How did you achieve the spot on top of your coneflower center??? That looks so real! Amazing Grace!
