Hello everyone!
I made this card with one of the new Our Daily Bread sets, "Get Well", just released today! I am loving ALL the new sets with the great sentiments and doodled butterflies and dragonflies! For this one I used my brand new Nesties Label 7 for my main panel. I wanted it to look like a Bible so I stamped the sentiment on the left side of the GPW cs in Archival Sepia, and sponged the whole page with TH Distress Ink in Antique Linen. The pretty flourish frames the panel perfectly. I stamped the flourish a second time, heat embossed it and cut out the 3 butterflies to pop them up. I had to use the largest Nesty size for this panel, so for the "pages" I embossed the die, then used 2 different gel pens first in copper and then gold to draw lines to make the look of multiple pages. For the cover I traced around the outside of the die and hand cut it from deep chocolate CS from Lasting Impressions.
My base is Bazzill and the caramel layer is ANW Crestwood "Autumn", a beautifully textured paper I got from Michaels. The DP is First Blush (Prima Marketing) and the flower is Prima. I added little gold half beads from HL. The corner piece is a Sizzix die cut and I ran it through the Big Shot for texture (textile ef). Added some ribbon and done.
I hope you love this new set as much as I do... and the nestie was so fun to play with! For more details please visit my blog:
