ODBDSLC85 Baubles or Bells ~Warm Wishes on a wintery day~

5:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Saturday all!! I hope you are all enjoying the weekend!! I can't believe how time is flying by and how Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Guess I just have been too busy to realize how the time is just slipping by.

Anywho...I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!!!

This weeks challenge: Baubles, Bells or Anything hanging!!

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 Friday, November 25 at 8 a.m. EST. 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. Inorder to qualify for this award, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have your submission added to Mr. Linky by Friday, November 25 at 8 a.m. EST.If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC85. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge using the darling and beautiful Warm Wishes Stamp set and the Window Die!! The designer paper is Bo Bunny Snowfall Collection. To create the edges of my card gold, I used versa mark and gold embossing powder. The background paper is dry embossed with Provocraft Soft Swirls.

The layout uses the Dirty Dozen Sketch over at Splitcoast Stampsers (DD1011)

Card Recipe

ODBD Stamps used: Warm Wishes

ODBD dies: Window die

Punches: Martha Stewart Daisy Edge Punch

accessories: May Arts Blue silk ribbon, gold cording, gold bauble bells(Michaels), Bow Easy, Recollections Gold Bauble Bling, Provocraft Soft Swirls

This card also matches the inspiration at Our Creative Corner:

I was inspired by the blue and brown tones, gold accents, and the windows from the photo.

SAMARA said...: Hi Chris! This card is a blessing! It is very beautiful in every way. I love what you did to the trees to give them the 3D look. The window, wow did that take talent. And I love how you took the time to do the top. It is so easy to NOT do those extra touches, that I really appreciate when someone does. Your colors are so pretty and festive. It would be a joy to walk into your card to celebrate. You have crafted it to look that way and give that feel. That IS artistic!!! Great success in your challenges and of course, in ours, at Forever Friends. Divine Love. Samara; November 20, 2011 at 6:02 PM
