Happy Saturday Everyone!!  I have been gone all week visiting family.  I was looking forward to coming home and seeing my dear hubby but it looks like mother nature does not want to cooperate.  I am stuck due to the snow.  Good thing I worked well in advance and have some creations made to share....Today I would like to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!!

This weeks challenge:  Is a sketch!!  Since Pat Smethers is now a full time designer for our Challenge team, I thought it would be nice to welcome her by honoring her with a "sketch case"  Isn't this card beautiful?




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, March 3. 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. In order to qualify for this award, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have your submission added to Mr. Linky by March 3 at 8 p.m. EST.If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC50. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Here is my take on the sketch using some more gorgeous sneak peaks at Our Daily Bread Designs.  I am so excited to share the new die and matching stamp set called Eternity to be released on March 1.  It has such gorgeous quotes and a frame which fits in a customized die made by Spellbinders especially for ODBD.  How cool is that!!
For my card I used some Kaisercraft English Rose designer paper and gold glitter paper from American crafts.  The lace is from Joann Fabrics and I wove some silk May Arts ribbon through it.  The roses are from Wild Orchids.  The bottom of my card is punched with a Martha Stewart Shell border punch.  The flourishes are die cut with a Bosskut die.  The leaves are created by a Martha Stewart Leaf punch and hand embossing the veins (as well as distressing). The pearls are from ZVA Creative.

card recipe:
stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs : Sneak Peak of Eternity and specialized die (created by Spellbinders)
paper: Kaiserkraft English Rose, Pink pirouette, gold glitter paper from American Crafts
Tools and accessories: Martha Stewart border punch-Shells border, gold embossing powder and heat tool, Wild Orchid flowers, Bosskut flourish die
