ODBD July Release Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the ODBD blog hop!! If you arrived from the ODBD blog, you are in the right place!! For our challenge today, we were to choose three ink pads from ODBD store. I chose Sunflower, Terra Cotta, and Olive. The real challenge was that we were to choose the inks before we knew what the images for this month were! I chose pretty well for this wonderful Lotus flower from the new Mother Teresa set! For my card, I water colored the lotus, used a mega deckled rectangle nestability for the edges of my DSP. I then added the sentiment, sponged the edges a bit with some more terra cotta ink, and added the stick pin from SU's pretties kit with some fun fibers on the end. To finish off the card, I layered a couple of ribbons under the image and sentiment panels!

And now for something we all love - CANDY! There are three stops along the HOP today that are offering candy and I am one of them! You won't be disappointed because it's "Winner's Choice" -- each Blog Candy winner will get to choose THREE yummy, juicy ink pads from ODBD's line of beautiful colors. To enter, leave a comment on this post by MIDNIGHT CST, July 2, and I will choose a winner the next day. Winners will be posted on the ODBD Blog July 4th, with instructions on how to claim your prize!

The hop started over on the ODBD blog, and then came to me. The next stop on the hop is **Angie Z. ** Head on over to Angie's blog to continue today's fun blog adventure!!

Have fun hopping, and don't forget to leave a comment here on my blog for a chance to win some blog CANDY!!

Blog Candy Alert!!! You say it's your Birthday...

da na na na na na...Its my birthday too, yeah! So if you can not tell from the title and first line of this post...today is my birthday!! In honor of my big day, I have made a card, and have also decided to give away some blog candy (for more deets on the blog candy, read below).

First, I made this card for day 2 of paper craft planet's 12 days of Christmas challenge. The images are from Innovative Stamp Creation's Marvels of Nature II set. Love this beautiful bird! I embossed everything on this card with white embossing powder. I was totally inspired to do this card while sitting at Starbucks this morning...thier new holiday cups are red and white, and when I saw the white bird on the top of the cup, I knew I needed to do something similar on a card with this image! As I stated earlier, the bird is embossed with white, and then cut out and popped up on dimensionals. I layered the base of the card with some Bella Rose DSP and I tore the corner of it to expose the embossed floral background.

I then added the sentiment with more torn edges, and some white taffeta ribbon across the bottom. I finished off the card with a fabulous Tim Holtz Grungeboard flourish inked with some ruby red craft ink.

This is the first time I have used grungeboard, and I am in love with it!! So much so that I ran back to my LSS and bought a package to give away as BLOG CANDY!!! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post through Wednesday, December 3rd, and I will randomly choose the winner on Thursday the 4th! You will receive a package of Tim Holtz Elements Grungeboard which has the dots texture and 94 different shapes to use!! A picture can be seen below.

So that being said! Good luck, and happy birthday to ME!!!! :)
