They say it's your Birthday! ODBD Birthday Blog Hop

Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs Birthday Blog Hop celebrating Rick's Birthday!  If you've ever attended one of the many Rubber Stamp Shows that ODBD sets up at, then odds are you've probably met Rick, you'll usually find him working the cash register and talking to the customers!  I've had the pleasure of working with Rick on a number of occasions and am thrilled to participate in the blog hop!  Happy Birthday Rick, hope you have wonderful day! 

If you arrived here from Angie's Blog you are in the right place, if not, you might want to head back and start at the  ODBD Blog so you don't miss any of the fabulous projects!  You'll want to be sure to visit and comment on all the participating designers blogs, because one of them is a hop hot spot and a name will be drawn from that blogs comments to win a $20 ODBD gift certificate good toward ODBD Stamps. You have until Friday, January 11th at 8PM EST to leave comments.

Inspired by the sketch at Addicted to Stamps Challenges, I used stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs Happy Retirement set along with pattern paper from the KaiserCraft Tropicana Collection.

Stamps - Our Daily Bread Designs Happy Retirement. PP - Kaisercraft Tropicana Collection

The image is stamped in Black Archival on a piece of pattern paper from KaiserCraft's Tropicana Collection, then colored with STAEDTLER Karat Aquarell Watercolor pencils.  The edges of all papers are sponged with Chocolate Ink.  To embellish I added a piece of Fish Netting.

Details:

Ink - Ranger Black Archival, Chocolate
Other - KaiserCraft Tropican Pattern Paper Collection, Fish Netting, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Ink Blending Tool, STAEDTLER Karat Aquarell Watercolor Pencils

Thanks so much for stopping by, your next stop on the Birthday Hop is Dawn's Blog.
