Our Daily Bread Designs challenge for this week: Is a sketch, and it is beautiful! Take a peek at ODBD's Design Blog on Saturday, July 30, and use the keyword ODBDSLC70 so we can enjoy your creations too! Make certain you link your card to the blog.
I used ODBD's Faith once again, and love this set! The fonts are so beautiful! I framed the word "Faith" with ODBD Spellbinders and added some purple gems. Using a cocoa colored swirl print, I cuttlebugged five of the nine squares and stitched the centers of each. The bloom is from Michael's and colored with Copics.
This sketch was wonderfully fun for me. I used to quilt and it was therapy for me. This is a birthday greeting for my very faithful friend, May. We have been like sisters for over 20 years, and she is like a second mother to my children, (and has claimed “Grandma” rights on Jonathan as well!) Her friendship is like a quilt that wraps around me!
Thanks for looking, and hope you have time to play!

OMGosh!!! This is simply gorgeous, Pat! I can't decide what detail I like the most...but I think the flowers win out, hands down! I love all the little details, especially the stitching on the paper in the criss cross pattern. Oh snap! It's ALL beautiful! Stalker hugs to you!

Swirls must have been on a lot of minds today, and this gorgeous card of yours attests to that! Coloring your flower with copics like this is a super big WOW!! That rose looks amazing, with that rich, deep color, and the look of your squares, some embossed, some not, gives this card a nice twist for a new idea! Truly inspired card, Sis!
LYMI!
