ODBDSLC215 - Anything Goes with ODBD Stamps

Thank you for all your gorgeous entries in the Fall Inspiration challenge. It's time for a new challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs - this fortnight the challenge, ODBDSLC215, is Anything Goes with ODBD Stamps. For this challenge you must use Our Daily Bread Designs stamps. Here is my card (with a bonus bookmark!):

For my bookmark I've stamped the Legend of the Sand Dollar from Our Daily Bread Designs Sand Dollar Bookmark using Memento Tuxedo Black onto some DP from ODBD Christmas 2013 Paper Collection. I've then diecut it using ODBD Bookmark dies and before removing it from the die I inked around the edge using Distress Ink Frayed Burlap. I diecut another (same size) bookmark from some light brown Bazzill textured cardstock and adhered this to the back of the Sand Dollar Bookmark (so that the bookmark looks nice on both sides). I added some organza ribbon at the top.

I've made my bookmark a little "holder" by diecutting two panels of the largest dies from ODBD Elegant Ovals dies. I scored and folded one of them (about 3/4 way down) and cut off the last 1/4 of the other diecut so that I could adhere the second one to the folded part of the first one and the shape of the elegant oval still lines up. I've then diecut then next size smaller ODBD Elegant Ovals dies out of some DP from ODBD Christian Faith Paper Collection and inked with Distress Ink Stormy Sky while it was still in the die. I then cut off the bottom 1/4 (to match the larger panel) and added a little more ink across the bottom.

I didn't want to add glue or tape around the edge of my "holder" (as my bookmark may then not fit!) so I decided to add some brads to keep them together but wanted the make the front a little prettier so I used part of a diecut from ODBD Beautiful Borders dies.

For the sentiment panel I stamped the outline from Our Daily Bread Designs Joy in a Jar using Memento Tuxedo Black onto some DP from ODBD Christmas 2013 Paper Collection. The sentiment is then stamped in the middle and comes from Our Daily Bread Designs Ocean Treasures stamp set. I've then diecut it using ODBD Antique Labels and Border Dies.

My blue background DP (from ODBD Christian Faith Paper Collection) has been stamped all over using the sand dollar image from Our Daily Bread Designs Ocean Treasures stamp set and Distress Embossing Ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Here is a close-up:

The light brown and blue card that I've used is Bazzill textured cardstock and I've added some more organza ribbon and a bow to finish off my card.
