ODBDSLC116 - Clouds or Sunshine

Hi there!

Time for a new Shining the Light Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!

This week's challenge:

We would like to see clouds or sunshine on your creation. These can be on your designer paper, be cut or sponged or be part of your coloring or stamping.

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, July 22nd 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, July 22nd at 8 p.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC116. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Now for my take on the Challenge this week...

 

 

 

This cute little chickadee is from an older set called  You Will Find Refuge.  I've always loved chickadees, probably because they're cute like plump babies even when they're adults.  This image has the branch with it and ODBD also has a custom die to cut it out with, the Chickadee Die...I love that!  Here's what the set and die look like to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about.

For the Challange, I decided to do clouds.  I've never done this before so I was a little aprehensive, but I liked the way it came out.  To make them, I taped three 1" circles together and sponged with Ballet Blue Ink above the top of it randomly on white paper.

For all ingredients used:

Stamps: You Will Find Refuge (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper: Solar White (Neenah), Whisper White (Stampin Up), Watercolor Bouquet (K&Co)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), Amaretto (Powder Puffs), Ballet Blue (Stampin Up)
