ODBDSLC27 TEXTURE!


Hello Everyone - HAPPY SATURDAY! Thank you for stopping by! We had my daughter's SURPRISE PARTY last night and she had soooo much fun. During dinner AND the craft, she asked THREE times when the birthday girl was coming. LOL So I guess my telling her the party was for someone else was effective. ;) The girls had a lot of fun and played with die cuts I made using my Cricut. They each made 3 cards and had a blast giggling and being creative.


Today is the Shining Light Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs! Our challenge this week is to Texture it!! Add texture whether it be through embossing, your different embellishments (feathers, textured ribbon…) or distressing (roughing up the edges not just inking them)



To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving out a prize , $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for thprize must be submitted by Thursday, September 2 on the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday. We will even choose a few Shining Light Awards for those who participate. Check out the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog for even more details!

For my creation, I used the Spellbinders dry embossing folder AND I distressed the edges. To get the look that I did - I stamped the image in Not Quite Navy, created a mask for it then sponged an apricot color in a small half circle for the sun. I then sponged orange and pink above it and a caribbean blue for the sky and went with the Not Quite Navy color at the very top. I put a light tan color on the ground and then stamped the excess ink off the sponge dauber and added a small amount of shading along the side and base of the light house. 


Here are a few more details:
Stamp Set: Our Daily Bread Designs Keep My Lamp Burning
Ink and Cardstock: Not Quite Navy, Apricot, Olive, Pink,  Caribbean Blue, Tan, White
