ODBDSLC280 Christmas Ornament Blessings

Hi Friends! 

This is the second card I designed using the November 2016 Our Daily Bread Designs “Shining the Light” ODBDSLC280 Sketch  Challenge!

Just a reminder that you have until November 27, 2016 to join us for a chance to be spotlighted for the Shining the Light award or to win a $15 ODBD gift certificate (one random participant will be chosen).  To be spotlighted for the Shining the Light Award, you must use ODBD stamps (or stamps from our sister companies: North Coast Creations or Artistic Outpost). 

I designed this card with a few items from the ODBD November 2016 Special Holiday Release- Christmas Ornament Clear Stamp Set along with the coordinating Christmas Ornament Die plus the new Holly Jolly Collection 6x6 Paper Pad.

If you have not visited the rest of my ODBD Design Team Sisters’ blogs and checked out their fabulous projects yet, I hope you will find time to do so:

I am also linking this card to the Double D "Traditional Christmas" Challenge as well as the Word Art Wednesday #256-#257 "Anything Goes" Challenge.

To create this card:

Cut a few strips of the ODBD Holly Jolly Collection 6x6 Paper Pad (I used the holly swirl pattern for this card), apply vintage photo distress ink to two of the panels with a water brush, dry with a heat tool, distress the edges a bit and sew onto a piece of green cardstock with a zig zag stitch.

Mount the panel onto the white card base and add the split paper doily.

Ink the sentiment from the ODBD Christmas Ornament Clear Stamp Set with archival black ink, stamp onto a piece of green cardstock, create the banner by hand, distress the edges and mount onto the card front.

Stamp the poinsettia ornament image from the ODBD Christmas Ornament Clear Stamp Set with archival black ink onto white cardstock, color with distress inks along with a water brush as well as water based markers and add white highlights with an extra fine white paint pen.

Die cut the ornament with the ODBD Christmas Ornament Die and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam.

Add the red ribbon bow along with pearls to finish off the card.

Thanks again for taking the time to stop by!  We hope you will be able to join us for the ODBD Shining the Light ODBDSL280 Sketch  Challenge!  

Hugs and have a blessed week, my friends!

Hi Friends! 

Welcome to the November 2016 Our Daily Bread Designs “Shining the Light” ODBDSLC280 Sketch  Challenge!

You have until November 27, 2016 to join us for a chance to be spotlighted for the Shining the Light award or to win a $15 ODBD gift certificate (one random participant will be chosen).  

To be spotlighted for the Shining the Light Award, you must use ODBD stamps (or stamps from our sister companies: North Coast Creations or Artistic Outpost). 

I designed this card with a few items from the ODBD November 2016 New Release- Jesus Loves You Stamp/Die Duos set, Holy Night Die, background paper from the Christmas Card Collection 2016 Paper Pad (from the October release) as well as a fewother previously released ODBD dies.

To create this card:

Emboss a piece of white cardstock with the ODBD Flourished Star Pattern Die, trim the edges slightly and mount onto the piece of designer paper from the ODBD Christmas Card Collection 2016 6x6 Paper Pad.

Trim the designer paper and mount onto the dark navy cardstock, trim again and mount onto the white card base.

Die cut the ODBD Holy Night Die from dark navy cardstock and trim off the wise men (to create the “circle” for the sketch element).

Die cut three pieces from white cardstock using the die in the ODBD Jesus Loves You Stamp/Die Duos set, layer the three together and set aside.

Heat emboss the sentiment “Is the Reason for the Season” from the ODBD Jesus Loves You Stamp/Dies Duo Set with silver embossing powder onto a piece of dark navy cardstock and create the flag banner by hand.

Die cut the small star die from the ODBD Holy Night Die from silver foil and adhere over the navy star in the nativity scene.

Add the looped silver cord (for the lower circular element in the sketch) to the card front, mount the ODBD Holy Night Die cut with dimensional foam and add the banner lining up with the bottom of the ODBD Holy Night die cut.

Mount the ODBD Jesus Loves You die cut to finish off the card.

 I am also linking this card to the Sparkle Creations Christmas Card Challenge SCCC47 Challenge :-) (I did not do the optional challenge this week) and the Addicted to Stamps and More #218 Holiday Challenge. 

Thanks again for taking the time to stop by!  We hope you will be able to join us for the ODBD Shining the Light ODBDSL280  Sketch  Challenge!
