ODBDSLC106 - No Designer Paper


Happy Saturday!

It's time for a new challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!

This week's challenge:
No Designer Paper- This week we want to see creations created with your own backgrounds, embossing, or just plain cardstock….no designer paper.

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 Friday, May 4th at 8 a.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 Friday, May 4th at 8 a.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC106. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

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





I just loved this coral-pink flower and I pretty much did the rest of the card around it.  I found paper that match the color really well and lots of pretty cream color on the rest.  I embossed the background with an embossing folder for a delicate background.  Very, very simple card to make, and I love the way it came out!

For ingredients used:

Stamps: Birthday Blessings (ODBD)
Paper: Natural White (Neenah), Pink (Cardstock Matstack - DCWV), Palo Verde (Bazzills)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), Sweet Blush (Palette)
Accessories: Labels Four (Spellbinders), Fanciful Flourish (Cheery Lynn), Rose Leaf Punch (Martha Stewart), Charm (RAK from Sabrina), rose flower (Prima), button (Michaels), adhesive pearls (Recollections), Ornate Flowers & Frame Embossing Folder (Sizzix), seam binding & pleated ribbon (Really Reasonable Ribbon)

I'm also submitting this to one other challenge:

Hope to see you join in on the challenge this week!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Blessings!
