Sat. Spotlight/Happy Easter ODBD

6:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Saturday!! I hope you are all having a great start to your weekend!! Spring is upon us and soon it will be Easter. I am looking forward to the warmer days and time outdoors!!

Today I would like to share two creations with you....One for Saturday Spotlight and the other for Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge.
This week the Challenge team at Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge is challenging you to create an Easter Card or project.
To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving out a prize, a $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Thursday, April 1 at 8 p.m.. to Mr. Linky here. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday. While it is not required to use Our Daily Bread Designs images and sentiments on your creations, we would love to see them if you have them.

Here is my take on the challenge:

For my creation, I used a sneak peak of the Mom set to be released on April 1 and the sentiment from He Is Risen!! I just had to play with the new designer paper I received this week too. I am loving the Green at Heart Paper from Basic Grey. It matches perfectly with my pink satin ribbon. The flourishes on each side of my image are created with the Fancy Labels dies from Spellbinders.

Card Recipe:

Stamps: Our DailyBread Designs: Mom and He is Risen

Paper: White and pink CS, Basic Grey Green At Heart
Accessories: May Arts pink satin ribbon, MS flower vine punch, Swiss dots embossing folder, Fancy tags Spellbinders die, gold baubles

I also incorporated:

* the Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge-to make it clean and simple
* CCEE Inspiration Challenge- inspired by the colors in this photo chosen by Tosh

*Going Grey with ScrapCreations- Think Spring
* Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge- pink, green and flowers
* Crafty Catz- White and one other color (pink)
*Paper Garden Projects- Embossing
*Incy Wincy- Think Spring or Easter
* Jacksonbelle- Easter or spring
* Simon Says Stamp- Easter or spring and some glimmer

We hope you can join us for this challenge!! We look forward to seeing your creations!

Now on to the Saturday Spotlight Challenge!!!

For this week's challenge.....

The Spotlight Divas would like to challenge you to create something with COFFEE in mind! You don't HAVE to use coffee images for this challenge, you can take inspiration from the colors you think of in coffee like rich browns, blacks, tan/creamy colors, etc. And to help you out a bit further, we wanted to provide you with this inspirational photo:

So please take the inspiration from the photo or from the colors you think of with coffee and have fun with it!! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!!
