ODBDSLC138 - Border It!

Hello friends...happy Tuesday!  I'm so glad you decided to stop by because it's time for another Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge!

This week's challenge is:

Border it- use your dies and punches to make a special border on one, two or all sides

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, January 20th 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,  January 20th at 8 p.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC138.  When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Creative Nugget:  I found myself reaching for one of my very favorite ODBD stamp sets, You Will Find Refuge, to make this diamond fold birthday card and matching corner bookmark.  Both techniques use the diamond shape for the main panel, so this birthday ensemble came together quickly.  The card has a layered border on two sides, and the bookmark has the border on the bottom!  The chickadees were colored with Copic Markers and cut with the matching Chickadee Die making it very easy to pop them on top of the Marvelous Squares dies.  The sentiment is from the Be Joyful set and twine bows and pearls were added to finish the card.
