Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs' October mid-month release! There are lots of pretty Christmas themed products and I'm glad to get a head start on my Christmas cards. The Everlasting Light stamp set has some great verses that can be used anytime of the year though.
For my first card, I used a verse from the Everlasting Light stamp set against some die cuts from the Vintage Flourish Pattern Dies. The back drop is a sheet from the new paper collection Christmas Card Collection 2015. I also die-cut the Windowsill Candles out of watercolor paper. After I colored it, I added a thick layer of Crystal Effects and some dark red rhinestones.
For my second card, I sponged a nighttime scene by masking the moon and adding stars. I trimmed the gorgeous gold sheet from the Christmas Collection 2015 with the pierced rectangle from the Flourished Star Pattern die. The Windowsill Candles were cut out of gold and green metal craft sheets. I also trimmed the verse with the Stitched Ovals and added a Peaceful Poinsettia.
Here's a list of all the team on the hop in case you've missed any along the way!
