If you've come here from SANDEE'S Blog, you are in the right place, if not you may want to start back at the ODBD Blog so you don't miss any of the beautiful creations along the way!!!

I chose ODBD's Flower Border Stamp to make my card.  This makes a beautiful frame for Bible Verses, sentiments, and quotes.  The coloring of the flowers on it is really quick and easy to do.

This stamp matches the Spellbinders Labels 18 Dies which ODBD has in their Shop.

For my card, I made a 4 1/4" easel card in white.  I embossed the Black Iris paper with an embossing folder for the background.  I stamped the Floral Frame and colored it with Prismacolor Pencils.  I cut the frame using Labels 18 and then the center with Classic Ovals Nestibilities to create a frame.  I stamped the sentiment using the Sentiments Collection from ODBD and cut it with the Classic Ovals (one size larger than the frame opening).

For the inside of the card, I stamped part of the border on one side and cut it with Labels 18 using a smaller die, colored it to match the front, and popped it up on foam dots.
