ODBD Bread Basket

Saturday, November 19, 2011

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, $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for thprize 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.

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.




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.

First of all Chris, the colors on this are beautiful! I love blues and the paper you have selected just sets a wonderful frosty scene! And speaking of Frosty, your coloring on that image is so rich! The frame die just sets it off so beautifully! I keep saying I "need" this die! :-) Have a wonderful weekend!

Love the paper you have used, those blues and gold are just perfect with this scene. The frost in the corner of the windows certainly sets the scene for Frosty outside. Blue bow is just gorgeous as an accent.....Just a delightful and lovely card. TFS

Oh MY, Chris!! What an incredible masterpiece!! This new window die sets such a beautiful scene for the snowman in the Warm Wishes set - surely a frosty holiday card! Love the BLUES and the multilayered panels' dimension to your card. The satin ribbon really knocks it over the fence with those gold baubles dangling from the bow - just fantastic!!

This is beyond beautiful! Love that window.

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
