ODBDSLC130 - Use Silver or Gold

Happy Tuesday!

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

This week's challenge:

Use gold or silver 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, November 18th 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, November 18th at 8 p.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC130. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Here's my take on the challenge this week...

I made a Christmas ornament using the "Ornaments" set.  I stamped the image 4 times, scored them down the middle, and then glued the sides together to form the ornament.  This is a technique I did recently at my Stampin' Up!'s consultant Krista's house that I thought was really fun and easy to make!  Here's a view of the back of the ornament.

This picture doesn't do it justice at all, it's actually very pretty with all the sparkle!  It's hard to capture sparkle on film though!  The poinsettia flower is made from silver glitter paper which goes perfectly with the silver embossing, crystal blue charm, and the sparkle in the ribbon.

Project recipe:

Stamps: Ornaments (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper: Solar White (Neenah), Silver Glitter Paper (Recollections)
Ink: VersaMark
Accessories: Heirloom Ornament 2010 Die, Layered Poinsettia Die (Spellbinders), heat tool, ribbon (Offray), adhesive pearls (Recollections), button (back of bow), jewelry charm (Michaels), silver wire string (Michaels)
