ODBD Sketch/ SSHP Friendship

7:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Today it is time for another Our Daily Bread Designs and Saturday Spotlight Challenge!! I hope everyone has been having a good start to their weekend!! It is hard to believe at this time last week we were having such a bad snow storm. Today is one of the warmer days and so reminds me of spring!!

Anywho... on to my creations and the challenges....

This week's challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light is....

a sketch. We are so excited as a team to be sharing our first sketch for the Shining the Light Challenge!! I know I personally love sketches and I hope you do to!! This is the first one I have ever created on the computer. How fun!!

This is my take on my sketch using the You are my Refuge set from Our Daily Bread Designs and the K&Co. Tim Coffey. The image was colored with my prisma colors and gamsol. The circle diagonal of the image is dp embossed with the Amazing Grace Hymn Stampset from ODBD. The sentiment panel uses the He Watches Me sentiment.

Card Recipe: Stamps: You will find Refuge, He Watches Me and Amazing Grace from Our Daily Bread Designs
Paper: K&Co Tim Coffey, Bitter Chocolate, Red
Accessories: Red Grosgrain Ribbon, silver baubles, red gems, Spellbinders circles, scalloped circles, and Lattice Border Die, Cuttlebug Vintage Corner die and Victoria Embossing Folder

Don't forget there is a $15 gift certificate toward stamps at Our Daily Bread Designs for one random winner if you are interested in participating. While we do not require you to use ODBD images, we would love to see them if you have them. You can link your creation here at the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog.
