I'm so excited to be offering sneak peeks of the new Our Daily Bread Designs Sets being released July First! I am so excited about these sets... wait until you see them!!!
This card is made on a base of Sahara Sand (which I stamped with the Canvas BG stamp), and there is a highly textured silver layer that I got at Michaels. Other than that... it's all GPWhite... sponged in varying degrees with Sahara Sand. The image panel is embossed in silver, sponged lightly and the Lotus Blossom itself is stamped two more times for the top one and twice for the lower right one. I then cut them out and popped up for depth. The sentiment, which is a quote from Mother Tereasa bears the name of the Stamp Set... "Let us Begin". I cut it out with my square Nestie and left it in the die while I sponged it, giving me my white mat for that panel. The swirls are QuicKutz. The ribbon is Silvery Edged Sheer Ribbon from my stash, and the little charm says "made with love" and is from Hobby Lobby.The edge punch is EK Success.
Thanks for looking and I do hope you enjoy these sneak peeks! These sets are going to wow you!!!

Just beautiful Grace!! I love your muted yet elegant colour choices! Lovely touches - love the scalloped border, the popped up flowers and the silver embossing! I will be very interested to see this new set. I have long admired Mother Teresa.

My goodness this is beautiful. If I don't still have a houseful of company for the July 4th holiday, I'll be visiting Our Daily Bread.

Just so beautiful Grace, love the elegance the silver gives to your card and that awesome border with the "fleur de lys". We Quebecers will go crazy for that one! Love your embellies too. Gorgeous work my friend.
