ODBD Bread Basket

Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Happy Tuesday all!! I hope everyone is doing well!!  Life has been interesting for me...unfortunately I have been lying low due to a pulled or torn muscle in my upper leg...making walking almost impossible with tremendous pain.  It sure makes crafting interesting.  I have to give a lot of credit to my dear daughter Nicki for this card since she had to go up and down the stairs SEVERAL times to my craft area to get whatever I needed.  Thanks Nicki!!!

Anywho...today I would like to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.


This week's challenge:  
ODBDSLC130 Use gold or silver on your creation.

For my creation I used the Chickadee Ornaments from Our Daily Bread Designs.  

In addition to making this for the Shining the Light challenge, I also cased this card from my dear friend and dt sister, Angie Crockett who was crowned Queen at Splitcoast Stampers!! Congrats Angie!! You are so deserving!!  I changed the stamps used, the dies to frame my image, the papers,the bow, and added embossing.  The image is colored with copics.  I added gold embossing around each layer to frame it.

The photos below are the same photo but with different backgrounds.  Which do you like better?









ODBD Stamps UsedChickadee Ornament


Dies: Grand Labels One, Decorative Labels 1, Classic and Scalloped Circles, and Cheerylynn Fanciful Flourish

Accessories: gold embossing powder, versa mark, , Bow Easy, pearl, May Arts burgundy silk ribbon, Darice Embossing Folder

Wow, this card is really really beautiful Chris.

The lighter background shows off your colors and card details better, so I prefer that one.

I'm so sorry about your pulled muscle, (at least I hope it's pulled and not torn), those are so painful. Hopefully every day it will get a little better.

Chris said...

It's stunning! How nice of your daughter to help out and I hope you get to healing quickly! Yikes, it sounds painful. :(

Donna said...

Absolutely beautiful as always Chris. Donna x
