ODBD Sneak Peek!

Hello! Sneak peek time for Our Daily Bread designs! Here I have used the Joy Tree image. I did the emboss resist technique by heat embossing the image with clear embossing powder and then sponged it with garden green ink. I then cut the image out.

The DP is from Basic Grey, the ribbon is some wonderful hand dyed silk ribbon from the Really Reaonsable Ribbon store, which is topped off with a vintage brad from Stampin' up! Oh and the embossing folder is from Cuttlebug!

Thanks so much for visiting today! Be sure to come back on Saturday, October 1st for the ODBD release blog hop!
