This is my third week as guest designer on Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge Team for the month of September, and I am enjoying it so much!
This week's challenge is to stamp your own background on a card or project. (You can use one stamp or several...your choice)
For my card, I decided to make the background using the beautiful Joy to the World Hymn. I wanted my card to be 5x7, so I mounted it onto gold mirror card, and mounted that onto this metallic gold poinsettia paper I had in my stash.
For the focal point, I used ODBD's gorgeous Ornaments Set, and cut it out with Spellbinders 2010 Heirloom Ornament Dies.
For the base of the easel, I used ODBD's Blessed Christmas Set, and cut it out with their customPoinsettia Die. This perfectly matched die, cut all of those intricate leaves and stems in just a few seconds!
All stamping was done with VersaMark, and the embossing was done using Superfine Detail Gold. The shading on the ornament was done with Distress Antique Linen, and all of the outline stickers have been in my stash for years. The pearls are Queen & Co, and all the coloring was done with Copics.
