ODBDSLC121 - Stitches

Happy Tuesday!

It's time for a new Shining the Light Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!

This week's challenge:

"You leave me in stitches"

This challenge will be open to our players for two weeks...we will have more samples for this challenge next week.

 

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, September 9th 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, September 9th at 8 p.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC121. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

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

I used faux stitching on my card as I'm not too fond of sewing machines, lol!  I just pierced holes all around the edge of the mat and used a marker to connect the holes.  This beautiful image is from the Christmas Door Set, another set I've been wanting to get!  This is my first creation using Flower Soft so be kind to me as I'm a little new at this!  At first I didn't have enough of it, now there's a little too much!  Oh well, I'll keep practicing at it!

For all ingredients used:

Stamps: Christmas Door (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper: Solar White (Neenah), Yuletide Designer Mat Pad (K & Co), Real Red (Stampin' Up!), Capers (Bazzills)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine)
