ODBDSLC146 Silver Anniversary

Welcome to another Shining the light Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!  Time flies by so quickly...it's hard to believe that Our Daily Bread Designs is celebrating five wonderful years already!

This week's challenge is:

Make an Anniversary Card with Silver 

Since this week marks the 5th Anniversary of Our Daily Bread Designs and the gift for a fifth year anniversary is silverware, we would like to see your anniversary cards with silver on it.

To make the challenge more fun, we will be 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, March 17th at 8 p.m. EST.  One random winner will be chosen and announced next Sunday.

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 participants to receive the Shining the Light Award.  In order to qualify for this award; however, you must use Our Daily Bread Designs stamps and have your submission added to Mr. Linky by Sunday, March 17th at 8 p.m. EST.  If you upload your creation to Splitcoaststampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword ODBDSLC146.  When creating your posts on blogs, please include a link to the challenge.

Here is what I created for the Silver Anniversary Challenge:

Creative Nugget:  I knew I wanted to use this newly released Happy Marriage Recipe for my card so it was stamped in Smokey Shadow ink on a Labels Eight Die.  The intertwining heart wreath is from the Love One Another set and was clear embossed over the recipe.  A little sponging made the wreath pop a little. The border was created with a border punch and attached to a square Solar Crest card base.  The silver DP was stitched to the front of the card.  A sentiment from the All Occasion Sentiments stamp set was masked so that only the Happy Anniversary part was stamped on the banner die.  Fanciful Flourish Dies, ribbon, paper flower, stick pins, pearls, and a charm were used to embellish the card.

The Our Daily Bread stamp sets used to create this card are Happy Marriage Recipe, All Occasion Sentiments, and Love one Another!

For the Love of God's Love Blog Hop

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Design's Alumni Team's bi-monthly For the Love Blog Hop.  This week the Alumni team along with some of the ODBD designers are featuring a hop 

For the Love of God's Love! 

If you've come from the amazingly talented Sabrina, you are at the right stop...if you've just happened to stop by, you might want to start out at the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog so you don't miss any of the wonderful eye candy!  

Check out each link and leave a comment. If you get lost along the way, check the ODBD Blog for a full list of links.  One of the posts is a hop hot spot and a name will be drawn from that list of comments to win a $15 ODBD store gift certificate.  So, all you have to do is hop along and see all the creations and leave a little love!  You have until Wednesday, February 27th, at 6 pm.  Enjoy all the beautiful designs featuring For the Love of God's Love!

I'm so excited to be participating in my first ODBD Hop! I've chosen the Love One Another stamp set for my sample and decided to create an Accordion Fold to display all the verses in the set.

Creative Nugget:  Here is my sample, closed and tied with some dyed wrinkled ribbon.  To give the card stability, the front and back were made by cutting two pieces of chipboard with the Labels One Die and covering both sides with designer paper.

The inside panels feature more of the scripture verses included in the set as well as the pretty intertwining heart wreath image which was colored with Copic Markers.

A variety of heart punches, dies, lace, twine, pearls, and ribbon were used to embellish each panel.  

The scripture verses in this set are perfect for sending a little love to a special someone and to remind us that all love comes from God, who is LOVE!  

Your next stop on the hop is the very sweet and very creative, Angie!

Thanks so much for stopping by...enjoy the remainder of the hop!

Hugs,

Cathymac

By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].  (John 13:35)

My sample for this week's Shining the Light Challenge is a Tent Topper card.

Creative Nugget:  Two complementary patterns were chosen from the Kissing Booth Paper Pad by BasicGrey and stitched to Early Espresso card stock, then mounted to a Fine Linen card front.  Ribbon and a bow were added along with a tiny ribbon rose.  The intertwining hearts are from the Love One Another stamp set and were colored with Copic Markers.  Oval and Floral Oval Dies were used to cut and mount the image panels, and a little sponging added while still in the die.  A few heart crystals were added as accents to highlight the wonderful verse from the third chapter of John!
