ODBDSLC277 Thanks...I appreciate it...say it with dies...

Hello Friends!! Happy Tuesday!! For those of you who stopped by yesterday on the ODBD release, you have already seen so many beautiful creations by the Our Daily Bread Designs Bread Basket (ODBD team members) for the August release. Today is a new Shining the Light challenge at ODBD and more inspiration from some of the team members.

This month's Shining the Light challenge is a sketch!! It has been a while since we had a sketch challenge.

Here is my creation. I used a variety of dies rather than using an image in the circular panel. My panel is also more oval than round...

Our Daily Bread Designs, Thanks for Everything stamp die duo, Trellis Strip Border dies, Pierced Square Dies, Pierced Rectangles Dies, Double Stitched Rectangles dies, Lovely Leaves Dies, Bitty Blossoms dies, Bitty Border Dies, Mini Bow dies, designed by Chris Olsen

The background of the square is created with the new Trellis Strip Border die at ODBD. To create this background I used the new Pierced Squares die to create a recessed frame. I then cut two of the Trellis Strips to adhere behind it. The die cut thanks and the sentiment at the bottom of the card is created using the Thanks for Everything stamp die duos. The die is framed with the Vintage Labels dies. The flower spray is created using the Lovely Leaves dies and the Bitty Blossoms dies. The border along the bottom is created using the Bitty Border Dies and Mini Bow dies. The rectangular panels are cut and embossed with the Double Stitched Rectangles Dies and Pierced Rectangles dies.

If you would like to join the challenge. We would love to see your creations. You have until September 4 to add your creation to the linky here for a chance to win a $15 random gift code toward ODBD stamps.

I really love the flowers with the laurel leaves, and that sweet little bow with the bitty border - well, they are lovely! Beautifully done, as always, precious friend!
