ODBDSLC116 Warm Wishes at Christmas

8:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Tuesday all!! I hope you all are having a great week!! There is just something about making a winter card in the hot weather that makes the temperature feel cooler. Lol!!! I decided since it is so hot an humid that making a Christmas card would be fun. I made it for the Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs as well as some other challenges.

This week's Shining the Light challenge:

We would like to see clouds or sunshine (sunsets, sunrises...) on your creation. These can be on your designer paper, be cut or sponged or be part of your coloring or stamping.

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 Sunday, July 22nd at 8 p.m. EST. 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. As a way of recognizing those who do use Our Daily Bread Designs stamps, we will again be choosing three or more of our participants for the Shining the Light Award . In order to qualify for this award or join the challenge, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have your submission added to Mr. Linky by Sunday, July 22nd at 8 p.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC116. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge:

I decided to make a Christmas card rather than a summer creation with clouds or sunshine. My image is Our Daily Bread Designs- Warm Wishes. I colored the image with copics and added Liquid Applique for snow. The fold for the card is called a diamond fold. My background is dry embossed while my sentiment is gold embossed. The dies used include Spellbinders Lacey Circles, Lacey Squares, Petite Ovals, and Classic and Scalloped Circles.

For more inspiration for this challenge, please visit my dt sisters:

Jan Marie Ennenga, Sherry Kushibab (guest designer), Jan Keen, Lori Ulrich,

Kathy Roney, Rosemary Dennis, and Sabrina Jackson
