Our Daily Bread Designs, Strawberries, Fancy Foliage Dies, Recipe Card and tags die, Chris Olsen

Happy Tuesday all!! I hope you all have had a great weekend!!  Boy how time flies.  Last week was extremely busy for my hubby and I and the weekend we so both looked forward to has just flown by!!

Anywho..today I am popping to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at ODBD!!  For the month of August we are doing something different.  We will have sketches for the whole month.  I love sketches and we hope you do too!!!

Here is the sketch for this week:



Of course with every sketch, there is one that has to put a different spin in there interpretation....this week it is me.  I tried to just put strips behind my image and a few flourishes but I just wasn't happy with it so...I made the flourishes my strips!!

Here is my take on the challenge:




I so enjoyed coloring all the strawberries and the basket in with copics.

Card Recipe:

ODBD Stamps Used: Strawberries
Spellbinders Die: Asian Accents
Embossing Folder: Darice Damask
