Daisy Bliss

Happy Tuesday All!! I hope you all have been having a great week!! It has been beautiful weather here, not too hot and some breeze here and again. I do have to admit that I am looking forward to fall.

Today I am popping in to share today's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.

This week's challenge:

is to use sponging on your creation.

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, August 19th 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, August 19th at 8 p.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC119. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

This week's challenge:

is to use sponging on your creation.

Here is my take on the challenge:

My creation uses the Daisy Background from Our Daily Bread Designs which I embossed in white and then sponged with Almost Amethyst (it did not photo the right color).

The flowers from Don't Worry was colored with copics in monochromatic colors. The leaves are cut from the Spellbinders Grand on the Vine and sponged with amethyst. The image is framed with the Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Motifs

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

Jan Marie Ennenga, Linda Lucas (guest designer), Jan Keen, Lori Ulrich,

Kathy Roney, and Rosemary Dennis.
