Our Daily Bread Designs challenge for this week is “Holiday with a Twist”. Create your own holiday project or card (Christmas or Thanksgiving) but it must use an ODBD stamp. See all the details Saturday, October 15, 2011 on ODBD's Design Blog and use the keyword ODBDSLC80 so we can enjoy your creations too!
This week I chose a new release, Christmas Door and it was so much fun! I stamped two images in VersaMark, and used Silver Embossing Power. Cutting the door panels and steps from one image, I mounted them on foam tape before adding to the first image. I stamped a third image on dark green Bazzill, and cut out only the garland, adding Ivory colored Flower Soft, Twinklets Chunky Diamond Dust and Clear beads. In fact, I used an entire jar of glass beads between the wreath in the door and the garland around it! I used Crystal Effects to adhere it all so there would be a sheen it all all once dry.
The sentiment is also from the Christmas Door set, and is framed using Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio 3. This tag is mounted over a textured background, using the Cuttlebug's Holly Ribbons Embossing Plate. There is a small silver brad for the door knob, but it kinda got lost with everything else going on. I added a small red gingham bow for a splash of color. The inside sentiment comes from this set as well and reads "The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy" Psalm 126:3. What more could you ask for!
Thanks for looking!
P.S. Tonda, the silver paper is the best! Thanks so much! Hugs....

WOW! This is so awesome. I love the frosty look - this is perfect for a Christmas card. Makes me want to go visit the people who live there - they must be really great people because they decorated their door so specially. Seriously, this is wonderful my sweet friend. LYMI! Hugz.

Hi Pat!
I hope that you remember me from the He IS Able blog! I just LOVE this card! It is such a different take on this stamped image. It is beautiful and so elegant!
I love all of the white...and how the panels on your door stand out, like real wood. The garland is beautiful, as is the wreath. I LOVE the embossing. This is such a wonderful holiday card...and that ribbon just pops right off the screen!
I just love your art, though I do not often have time to comment on each post. I do hope you know that I hold you and Bubba in my thoughts and prayers.
Be well, and if I don't catch you before then...Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
