Welcome to the ODBD August New Release!
Today I'm sharing a couple of cards made with the new Pickles set. I wanted to show that they can be both elegant, and comical.
First, I colored the circular image with Copics and framed it with Spellbinders' Asian Motifs dies. The middle square panel was embossed using a Cuttlebug folder.
I included the larger pickle image on the inside, along with the verse John 15:1.
For my second card, I stamped the smaller pickle 3 times onto Eclipse tape and cut them out for a mask to create this background.
Two pretty simple, straight forward cards, but you get the idea of this set right? :)
Here's a look at the whole set:

Love the cards! My garden is producing lots of pickles and cucumbers, so this set is just perfect!
The elegance of the first card lends so much to the lowly pickle. I have to say I would be in a pickle if I did all the work you did to make that card. Pure genius on your part.
Super pickle cards Tosh!! (did I really say that?!!LOL!) Love the die cut framings on the first - and I cannot believe how much masking you did to get the 2nd card done!! beautiful!
Love all those pickles and the Asian motif dies are lovely.
Fabulous use of the dies on the first card and the second one is just too fun :) Soooo jealous you and Stacy and Christine got to hook up! Sounds like great fun was had by all -- especially the white water rafting!!
These are both wonderful, Tosh! Love the die cuts on your first and the masked pickle bg looks terrific on your second. Super projects!
Elegant and comical does describe your wonderful cards. Love them!
You proved that a pickle can be elegant, that's for sure. I love it.
I love your comical pickle also, it's too cute.
Your first card is so lovely with all of the white layers. The second one is very cute and funny!
Wow Tosh!! Your cards are gorgeous!! I just love the first with your beautiful coloring and the frame you created with dies. Sheer elegance!! The second is so creative and cute. What a lot of masking!!!
hugs,
Chris
I love the lacy look of your first card, and you selected such a wonderful sentiment for inside! It is truly gorgeous. Your second card has a CAS look, but it must have been quite an endeavor to stamp all those pickles...very impressive!
Whoa! Never knew pickles could look so elegant! Love how you created the pickle background too!
I'd have to be "in a pickle" if I had to chose the best of the best for all of the DT samples. All of you do great work! Love the pickle card! It made me smile!
WOW Tosh - how amazing are these!!! I'm gasping over the first card, with all it's exquisite and delicate beauty, then I'm giggling over the second. How creative and how cute is that??!!!? You're awesome - thank you for sharing your talent and inspiration :)!
Hugs,
Audrey
Lovely work!
Great mass of pickles - that took a bit of time! Love your ideas.
Love the elegant pickle look! We all get into a pickle once in awhile! Thanks for the inspiration!
That second card looks like a lot of work - wow!!!

Oh my goodness, Tosh, your designs are absolutely AMAZING! Love the crisp white one with those perfectly colored pickles and the second one...how creative is that? I might have to case these two beauties! Hugs and blessings, Sabrina
Fabulous use of the new Pickles stamp set! Beautiful shaped card and coloring, wonderful use of the masking technique!
Love the cucumber vine on the easel. I am not sure how you did the second card (I read masking and Eclipse tape but you'll have to excuse my ignorance - I don't know what Eclipse tape is!). I'd love to see a tutorial on how you did it!
Fabulous pickle cards!!
Your cards are beautiful. TFS.

Oooh, that's a lot of masking!! So pretty!! Love the cute little square card too!! Hugs!!
Stunning cards. The first is super elegant even with a pickle on it!
both are very pretty!!! I like the first one best
Totally pickle-licious cards Tosh! Great designs :) !!! ~S~
Oh these are both so pretty. I really like the second one with all the pickles!! beautiful cards!
Tosha, Tosha, Tosha, I'm so pickled (scrap that and change to tickled!!:) about your unconventional pickle usage. First, the uber elegant " Pickles for Peace" card, and then the fabulous bg masking work that provided us with your "Pickles for Tickles" work of art. The next time I'm out in the garden picking the lowly cucumber, I will pause a moment, see it in a new light and let my imagination wander. Then, i'll take it inside and whip up a batch of relish cause I'm a practical farm wife after all:)
Good ideas.
Very unique cards. Love the fold. Great job.
