Entries for the prize must be submitted by Thursday, February 17. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday. If you are not using ODBD stamps, please do not enter more than once. Additional entries without using ODBD stamps will not be commented on or will they qualify for prizes.

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.As a way of recognizing those who do use Our Daily Bread Designs stamps, we will again be choosing 1 to 2 creations to spotlight for our Shining the Light Award.

When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Now on to my creation for this challenge:





For my creation, I used the stamps  Faith and Anchor from Our Daily Bread Designs. The ingredients I used from the challenge included: H- hemp, E-dry and wet embossing, A- anything ODBD, R- ribbon and lace, T-tearing or distressing. The dp I used is from K&Co. Julianne (96 sheet pack).  The lace my dear daughter bought me for Christmas.  The flower is created by tearing and reforming several prima flowers. The sentiment is embossed and stamped over the butterflies from the Faith set.  To create the hemp flourishes, I stiffened the hemp with glue and curled them, stiffening them by a hot iron.
