ODBDSLC128 ~ This One's For the Men

It is time for another Our Daily Bread Designs' Shining the Light Challenge... 

This one is for the men!

We want to see projects that celebrate and honor the men in our lives!

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!! If you are not using ODBD stamps, please do not enter more than once. Additional entries without using ODBD stamps will not be commented on nor will they qualify for prizes.

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 1 to 2 creations to spotlight for our Shining the Light Award. In order to qualify for this award, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have your submission added to Mr. Linky by Sunday, November 4th at 8 p.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword ODBDSLC128. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to our challenge.

And my creation for the week...

I dry embossed the focal panel to mimic tooled leather.  The frame is a chipboard oval that I covered silver embossing powder and UTEE.  It resembles tarnished silver!  You will find a tutorial HERE. 

Make sure to stop by and visit my sister sticks! They have some wonderful creations to share! And don't forget to leave them some love!

Thought I would pop in and show you another card I created with Our Daily Bread Designs' Faithful Friend set.  I got this set a week or so back and I just can't put it down!  I love it when a stamp set just seems to work for every project!  The sketch is from this week's Clean and Simple Challenge at Splitcoast.

I scored the bottom of the white card stock base before placing a matted layer of Authentique paper. I matted the sentiment on a simple black card stock panel and fussy cut the dragonfly. After adding Diamond Stickles to his "wings" I popped him on the card with dimensional foam. Super easy! Gotta love that! As always thanks for stopping in! I love to hear from you!

Don't forget on July 1st, Our Daily Bread Designs will release new stamp sets! (...they are FABULOUS!) For my Cricut fans stop in next week on Monday and Friday for some Exploring Cricut posts! And next Thursday the ODBD Alumni team will be having a hop! And it promises to be fun! Stay tuned, as I will be having a fun giveaway in July as well! It promises to be a wonderful month! Until next time... blessings...
