ODBD Old Mill

Hello, visitors!!  I have for you today a card featuring the Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) Old Mill Stamp.  I prepared this card for Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge for today (see below).

ODBD Old Mill

I love the ODBD Old Mill stamp as it reminds me of my home town in West Virginia (WV) where an old mill is located.  Have you heard of Babcock State Park in WV?  The park has this old mill called, The Glade Creek Grist Mill.  These two pictures are of the mill in the summer and fall.

The following is a picture of the mill that my niece gave me.  She is a professional photographer and she took the picture during the fall.  I keep it hanging in my craft room as it reminds me of home.

Babcock State Park Crist Mill_1

The Glade Creek Grist Mill was completed in 1976.  Fully operational, the mill was built as a recreation of one that once ground grain on Glade Creek long before Babcock Park became a state park.  Known as Cooper’s Mill, it stood on the present location of the park’s administration building parking lot.

Of special interest, the mill was created by combining parts and pieces from three mills that once dotted the state of WV.  The basic structure of the mill came from the Stoney Creek Grist Mill which dates back to 1890.  It was dismantled and moved piece by piece to Babcock from a spot near Campbelltown in Pocahontas County, WV.  After an accidental fire destroyed the Spring Run Grist Mill near Petersburg, Grant County, WV, only the overshot water wheel could be salvaged.  Other parts for the mill came from the Onego Grist Mill near Seneca Rocks, Pendleton County, WV.

A living monument to the over 500 mills that thrived in WV at the turn of the century, the Glade Creek Grist Mill provides freshly ground cornmeal that park guests may purchase, depending on availability and stream conditions.  Visitors to the mill may journey back to the time when grinding grain by a rushing stream was a way of life, and the groaning mill wheel was music to the miller’s ear.

As a teenager, I spent a lot of time at the state park, sitting on rocks near the mill.  At adulthood, I spend a lot of time with relatives having family reunions at the park.  These memories swirled around in my head as I was coloring the image on my card!  Here are some additional photos of the card.

ODBD Sweet As Perfume

Welcome, crafters!!  Hope your day is going well!  Today’s card share features the ODBD Sweet As Perfume Stamp Set.  (ODBD stands for Our Daily Bread Designs.)  The floral image from this set is a Frangipani!  The Frangipani is also know as the Hawaiian Lei flower.  They come in whites, yellows, pinks, reds, and multiple pastels.  Mine is several colors in the pink family, as I used multiple Copic Sketch Markers to color them.

I created the card in response to a color challenge on the Splitcoaststampers website. The colors chosen for the challenge are two of the 2016-2018 SU In-Colors – Dapper Denim and Sweet Sugarplum, and one from the 2015-2017 SU In-Colors – Cucumber Crush.

After coloring the floral images, I added the Happy Birthday sentiment from the SU Perfectly Penned stamp set.  To finish the card, I added a bow, three strings of beaded pearls, and three crystal drops.  Here are additional photos of the card.

ODBD A True Friend

Have you seen the gorgeous Bearded Iris stamp from the ODBD A True Friend stamp set?  It is a large stamp, but it is gorgeous.  The card I’m sharing with you today spotlights a set of Bearded Irises.

ODBD A True Friend

If you like the Bearded Iris, you can get only that stamp here without the sentiments that come with the stamp set.

Yes, indeed this is a large floral stamp – stamped three times on my card!! This card is for Vicki’s (vdutchr) “So Coral Cantaloupe” Color Challenge, CC592, on Splitcoaststampers!  Vicki picked three colors that are beautiful together!  The colors are SU So Saffron, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Calypso Coral.  I colored the irises with Copic Sketch Markers that closely match the challenge colors.

I think I overdid it, don’t you? The stamp image is large, and I couldn’t stop with one stamped iris, I had to stamp three (using masking, of course)!!!  Go big, or go home!  Isn’t that the cliche? LOL

Dessert (i.e., extra points) for the color challenge is “dimension”.  I used foam tape to pop up the Spellbinders 5 x 7 Herloom Legacy die cut onto the white card base.  I added clear Wink of Stella to the beards of the irises. Hopefully you can see that.

I am also submitting this card to the Our Daily Bread Designs blog for its ODBDSLC276, Anything that Grows with ODBD.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful, blessed day!

ODBD Sunburst Background Die

Hey, Sunshine!!  That’s the name of Carla’s (aka uvgotcarla) “Clean And Simple” Challenge for today on Splitcoaststampers.  Her challenge is to create a card using some kind of sun element in the design. To create my card, I used white card stock to cut out the ODBD Sunburst Background Die. I laid the die over the sunburst cutout and used a fantastic Clarity Stencil Brush to brush on the two inks. (The Clarity Stencil Brushes are remarkable.)

I cut out a fence using a wood-grain DSP and ODBD Fence Die, green grass using Lawn Fawn’s Grassy Border Die, and green stems and various colors of flowers using the Impression Obsession Bouquet Die.  I assembled and attached them to the bottom of the sunburst.  I created a digital sentiment that was cut out with an ODBD Mini Tags & Labels Die and attached to the card front slightly over the sun.

ODBD Gladiolus – You Bless Me – ODBDSLC276

Gladiolus flowers are so beautiful, and they come in a large array of colors.  The Gladiolus flower was my Mom’s favorite flower.  When I saw the Gladiolus stamp from the ODBD Gladiolous – You Bless Me stamp set, I immediately thought of her.  So this card is in memory of her.

ODBD Gladious - You Bless Me

This card will be submitted to Our Daily Bread Designs for it’s July challenge, ODBDSLC276, Anything that Grows with ODBD.  The challenge requires the use of at least one stamp from either ODBD, North Coast Creations, or Artistic Outpost.  This card is created with two ODBD products; the frame die cut and the red Gladiolus stamp.

ODBD Gladious - You Bless MeI submitted this card to the Splitcoaststampers Ways to Use It Challenge.  The challenge was to create a card and “decorate all the way to the border. Add lace to the edge, color to the edge, stamp off the edge, die cut your card with a fancy die cut whatever you do go all the way to the border.”  Therefore, I used the largest die from the ODBD Vintage Border Dies to create my card in the form of the die.

ODBD Gladious3_1
I also submitted the card for two other Splitcoaststampers Challenges: 1) F4A334, “add some sort of frame (it can be diecut, punched, stamped, embossed, etc.) to your lovely creation” . Because my card is made in the form a frame die, I decided to submit the same card for this challenge.  2) IC554, Petals, which was to draw inspiration from a website full of gorgeous floral arrangements.

If interested, you may read all the wonderful Splitcoaststampers comments on this card HERE.  You will note that the card was selected as a Favorite For The Week Ending 7/17/16, as well as a CAS (Clean and Simple) favorite.

The card I’m sharing today is one I made in response to Tuesday’s Color Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com.  My card features the Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) Tea Time Stamp Set.

ODBD Tea Time

The color challenge required creating with these three beautiful Stampin’ Up! colors:

SCS Color Challenge 7--12-16_1

I do not have anything in the Flirty Flamingo color, so I substituted SU Regal Rose for my card. The center piece is from ODBD Tea Time Stamp Set. I stamped the images in black and used copic sketch markers to color, trying to match the colors as closely as possible to the challenge colors. I mounted the center piece with foam tape onto a Mint Macaron Deco Label cutout. Using the same framelit, I cut out a Night of Navy frame, covered it with Crystal Effects, and mounted it with foam tape onto the center piece.

The first layer is a piece of Regal Rose polka dot DSP that I cut out with a ODBD Pierced Rectangle Die and embossed with the SU Finial Press Embossing Folder (retired). I added die cut leaves and tiny flowers on two corners.

“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.  This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God:  Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the Flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God.  This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.  1 John 4:1-3 (NIV)
