ODBDSLC #191 - Secret Admirer



For the Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge this week, we're making a Secret Admirer card - Case someone you admire or a card you always wanted to case, for more details on the challenge, check out the Our Daily Bread Designs blog.

For my Secret Admirer card, I chose to case Chris Olsen who makes so many gorgeous creations. I was struck by this one while visiting Splitcoaststampers.com recently. I really love the bright colors in this card and the wonderful depth of these pretty ODBD flowers. You can see I changed the color, but I kept the gorgeous ribbon and bow and changed up the flowers. I really wanted to keep the great depth that Chris's card has, so I cut out the Ornate Heart die in the center and raised it with foam tape over the scripture. I've had some trying times at work the last couple weeks and I can't tell you enough, how much this verse means to me! I love making cards that inspire me as well as the person I'm sending it to!
