I love the Our Daily Bread Designs stamps. I made my card for their Stamping in Time challenge. The challenge was to make the scripture the focal point. Also, I entered my card into the Stamps R Us and Creative Card Crew challenges - Anything Goes.
I used a Sizzix frame my sis gave me and I don't know the name of it..tried to find it online. Maybe I can find it later and post. It cuts out in three parts and I used a gold leafing pen on one section and stamped the scripture on one. Added a couple of flowers, some pearls, ribbon, and a brad. The off white dp was already embossed.

This is so beautiful, Brenda - there's something heavenly about blue, white and gold!! My favorite cards to make are ones using scripture as the focal point and this is a beautiful ODBD stamp - love the roses, pearls and ribbon too.

How simple but beautiful, Benzi! I love the subtle pops of color, and that cluster of pearls is absolutely lovely. Amazing work!

I want this card if it has 18k gold. Will it have to be insured to send it via mail? Maybe Brinks should deliver it from one of their secure trucks! I wish I were as rich as you!! But, Benzi, I have to say that this is one stunner of a card. Every detail so perfect and beautiful colors. You know I love blue and white, but the added "real gold" puts this one over the top. Your flowers are wonderful surrounding the verse and your pearls are YUMMO! Are the pearls real too? I've come to like gold a lot. Of course, all mine is fake! After doing Jo's card as QFTD and some of my holiday cards, I have a real weakness for them. I'll be lookin' for the Brinks Truck!

This is just so elegant. I love that pearl flower and your roses as accent. The touch of blue lends itself to a soft pastel look to these beguiling creation.

That silly Pamzi. Of course that's real gold! It's a "Benzi-the-Prez" card after all. Love the look of that die-cut Brenda. Those pretty flowers and gems make awesome accents.
