Wonderful ornaments for today's Inspiration Challenge! I've making a lot of Christmas themed cards lately, so I thought I'd change things up a little. I chose Muffy Gone with the Wind for my inspiration. I liked the colors and cloverleaf like design on her skirt. Since I live near Atlanta, the Gone w/ the Wind seemed fitting.
ETA: the link is right, but it isn't going directly to the item. Maybe this one will: Muffy Gone with the Wind
All images are Our Daily Bread designs and were just released yesterday. I stamped and water colored two of the clover images and used the fabulous matching die to cut them out. I love fussy cutting, but give me a matching die like this (ODBD exclusive) and IÂ’ll hang up my scissors in a heart beat! I also die cut piece of card board to attach under one of the clovers for a little lift. After stamping the quote on some gold parchment c/s, I attached a black frame with a Spellbinders label 17 cut out of the middle.
The beautiful honeycomb background image was stamped on top of a subtle dp pattern. The black/cream dot pattern is another dp pattern. I didnÂ’t have the right size brads in black, so I used a black Permapaque marker to color some white brads and heat set to dry them. The finished ivory card is 5.5 x 4.25.
Thanks so much for looking! Close ups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, this is just beautiful! I love how you've showcased the new ODBD sets - the honeycomb bg is amazing with the bee and clover - the sentiment is so very meaningful!
