This is my second post for this new year's day (scroll on down to see the Color Throwdown challenge post)! It's an especially exciting day for me because I get to announce that I'm now a member of the Alumni Team at Our Daily Bread Designs! I did a guest designer stint for a couple of months one year ago, and am happy to rejoin the talented gals at ODBD! Kelley has a great new release this month and I'm thrilled to bring you a couple of creations using the new "Lavender" set.
I added color to the lavender image by coloring it with two Tombow markers (623, 126), huffing on it, then stamping on white CS. I paper pieced the Labels Twenty Three Nestabilities die and added a narrow strip of black glitter tape to the seam. The sentiment makes this a perfect card to give with the lavender perfumed soap which you can partially see in this photo.
My second card is very clean and simple and uses two current trendy elements - washi tape and sequins. There are some really fun dies in this release and I'm using one of the two Apothecary Bottles dies in this design - popped up with foam tape. The bottle label is also from the Lavender set.
To create the look of cork, I stippled on two shades of light brown Copic markers. My photo doesn't show the shimmer of the silver Wink of Stella glitter brush marker used on the ribbon on the bottle's label but, IRL it has a bit of sparkle. I sponged the edges of the jar with Lavender Lace ink and finished it off with jute twine.

Hi Stella,
Thank you for sharing your talent, fellow RN. I too love card making. I love your first card because of the use of the lavender set and your use of such delicate blend of colors. The lavender and greens are perfect and provide a serene look. Have a blessed New Year.
Welcome back, Wanda!! Wonderful samples....a perfect CAS too!
Gorgeous cards!! Big ole' Congrats my friend!! Can't believe you have been off work for almost 3 1/2 weeks.... I was off a week and all the prep before... my mojo has abandoned me right now... looking forward to a normal routine!
Love that lavender and green together and the nestability that you used on your lavender card.
What a neat way to use the washi tape and sequins on your card. Love that.
Beautiful clean designs!! Fabulous use of the new stamps and dies!
Yes, Wanda, it's wonderful that you are back in the Breadbasket!! Beautiful cards! I love the first one using the great die shape with the Scripture verse over the softly stamped lavender spring. And the second one is great with the washi tape and jewels. I love that apothecary jar with the twine! Gorgeous, sweet friend! Happy New Year with hugs!
So so pretty! I love the color combo on this card. Great paper and wonderful sentiment all make it a beautiful card. Your next card is - yes clean and simple - but very very elegant in a quiet way. Very nice card. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
Love the greens and purples in your first card, they look so rich together, and the simple lines of your second card.
Hugs, Antonella :-)

ooh washi tape and sequins. I love the simplicity of it and how you painted the cork top. I'm new to all this but your creations are very beautiful.
Beautiful cards. Happy New Year!

Such pretty cards and lovely color combination!
Your first project really caught my eye with the background lavender with the scripture sentiment over it. Both cards are stunning and I really am going to have to get some new stamp sets from ODBD!
Love the simplicity in both of these.
Liked how you used the washi tape on the one card and the lavender and green combo on the first one is a perfect combination. New Year's Blessings.
I love the simpleness of these cards, but very unique designs.
Hey Wanda!!! These are both so beautiful! I just love your CAS style!!! {{sigh!}}
