ODBDSLC119 - Sponging

Hi there!

Hope you are all having a wonderful Tuesday!  It's time for a new Shining the Light Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs...

This week's challenge:

is to use sponging on your creation.

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, August 19th 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, August 19th at 8 p.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC119. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge this week...

My sponging is a little subtle, but I actually used it in a couple of places.  I used it on the edges of the flower petals to give them more depth and also on the edges of the mat.  It's hard to see in the picture, but the flower is fussy cut and layered.  You can click on the picture for a better view if you would like.

I've been wanting this Luke 2:11 set for a while now and finally got it...so pretty!  I love images that fit into a corner that you can use with sentiments.  Here's a picture of the set so you can see how I put 2 of the stamps together.

There's also 2 other sentiments you can use with the flower image.  Really pretty fonts on this set too!

For all ingredients used:

Stamps: Luke 2:11 (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper: Solar White (Neenah), Real Red (SU)

I'm also submitting this to Word Art Wednesday's Challenge #40 to use their free word Scripture (Psalm 33:1), or encouraging/uplifting sentiment.


I hope you enjoyed my creation this week and that you'll be able to join in the challenge!

Blessings!
