ODBD Grace's Hope | Stamping With Guneaux Designs

Happy Monday!! Hope everyone had a blessed weekend! Today’s card share features two different and new Our Daily Bread Designs (OBDB) products: 1) ODBD Grace’s Hope Stamp Set (1715) and 2) ODBD Lavish Layers Dies. Also featured is a retired Stampin’ Up! Stamp Set, the And Everything Nice.

Isn’t she so pretty? I have had this stamp of the little girl in the rain since it came out in 2005; however, I had never used it until today! Eleven years she was stuck inside her plastic container. Shame, shame!! LOL

I used the new ODBD Lavish Layers Dies to cut the two frames showing on the card. Isn’t the design of these dies gorgeous? I love the new dies! They are very intricate but cut so well. The card’s sentiment “HOPE” is from the ODBD Grace’s Hope stamp set. If you’ve not tried Our Daily Bread Designs products, I strongly recommend them to you!

Let me share about the name of the stamp set, Grace’s Hope. Grace Nywening is a sweet lady who is a former Design Team Coordinator and current DT member of Our Daily Bread Designs Company. She is undergoing a very powerful chemotherapy treatment course for Breast Cancer. ODBD decided to honor Grace by dedicating to her the Special Edition Anniversary stamp sets for 2016! Grace’s Hope is one of the stamp sets. If you believe in prayer, please add her to your prayer list. Thank you!

Back to the card. I am submittimg this card to Splitcoaststampers for it’s Clean and Simple Challenge, CAS371 – APRIL SHOWERS. The challenge requirements are: “You know the old saying…April showers bring May Flowers? Well, today it’s all about those April Showers! The challenge is to use a watery image/element on your project.” When I read the challenge, the little girl stamp immediately came to my mind. FINALLY, I decided to use the stamp for my image on the card!
