3rd day of Our Daily Bread Designs week long celebration and more blog candy!!!

3:29 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Today is day 3 of the week long anniversary celebration to celebrate one year of Our Daily Bread Designs. I hope you are joining us for many wonderful creations, tutorials, fun, and prizes. Today, Angella and I are featuring two different stampsets offered at Our Daily Bread Designs. But don't forget about the scavenger hunt! If you have not emailed your answers to Judy (here), you have until midnight CST tonight!! Three lucky winners will be pulled from the bread basket and announced here tomorrow. For the scavenger hunt list and more details, scroll down to my next post. OH YES!! We have more blog candy to give away and you'll find out where it is after I share a card I made using "The Angel" stampset available at Our Daily Bread Designs.

The Angel stampset is so versatile and can be used for a variety of occasions (Christmas, Easter, Thinking Of You or everyday). When I made this card I had CC208 (to use chocolate chip, passion pink, and Kiwi Kiss) and several of the products available at Our Daily Bread Designs in mind. The image is stamped on using Passion Pink and Chocolate chip. The wings and belt were painted with both pink poinsettia and angel wings shimmerz. Angel offered a wonderful tutorial on how to use shimmerz on her blog on Tuesday. The outside of the image is sponged with close to cocoa. The first panel in the background is paper pierced with an ornare piercing template ( item number 4055584). The designer paper is from Basic Grey's Bittersweet Collection. The third panel is dry embossed with the cuttlebug textile folder. The chocolate cardstock is actually a bronze prismatic metallic paper available at Our Daily Bread designs. The glittered paper in the scallop is from K&C0. I added little pink pearls in the corners from Hero Arts and two corners cut using a cuttlebug vintage die.

I hope you enjoyed today's post. Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Now swing on over to Angella's blog to see another wonderful creation, a tutorial on polyshrink, and to win BLOG CANDY. Angella is amazing and the stampset she is featuring and giving away is my absolute favorite from Our Daily Bread Designs!!
