I just went to the CKC convention and could not wait to get home to play with my new treasures from ODBD. Even got to meet the owner, Kelley, and Josh, who helped me through my entire list!! They could not have been sweeter!!
This border and Scripture came from the set, Porch, and I so love its message!!
I used the sketch in this challenge to make a faux quilt and then after I put it together, I embossed the entire thing, then I stitched criss-cross pattern across it. Popped the Scripture up on some nestied layers, and then die cut the bottom border from Porch with the custom die cut from ODBD, cut a leafy flourish that I also got at ODBD, then added some scrunchy ribbon and pearls.
Thanks for looking - hope you like the results!!

Oh my gosh, Sue, this is just beautiful! I love the colors and your detailing is awesome - from the stitching to the flourishes to the pretty border. Of course, the verse is lovely.

Ai yi yi....Greenie, you have knocked this one out! So, so happy to see you using your new ODBD toys and so fun to see how beautifully you have put this together. That flourish is delish my friend....(jealous!) Lol! What a great thing that you got to meet Kelley and her family. I know you had a blast! LYMI

What a stunning take on the sketch!! I just adore your use of ribbons and lace, the colors and the stitching. Thanks for joining the ODBD Shining the Light challenge!

These are my favorite color combinations...blue and brown. I love ODBD stamps. Their words pack a punch and the images are awesome. I have not liked any of the cards I have made with them yet so I have not uploaded them but I am still working on getting there. I don't do beautiful very well at all. You do not suffer from that condition!!! This is so beautiful.
tfs.
