Hello everyone! Welcome to the first Design Team Challenge of 2010 at Our Daily Bread designs!

Stay tuned for weekly challenges that will mean more prizes and more fun for everyone!!! To celebrate our new member status, we are giving away a BIG prize to one lucky winner... a $50.00 Gift Certificate to the Our Daily Bread designs store! To enter that drawing, simply leave a comment on the Welcome ODBD Thread by Jan 10! You still have time to be entered so hurry on over and leave us some love!!!
Now on to my card...
I used the Our Daily Bread desingns Jan. release set Confirmation. This set is quite versatile and there are two other sets this month, so be sure to check out all the new releases! I stamped my cross image lightly on Papertry Vintage Cream with River Rock SU! Ink. I stamped it again in Chocolate Chip and just cut out the bird. I sprayed it with Glimmer Mist Pearl. Very sparkly!
The sentiment is part of the God Bless You on your Confirmation sentiment... I masked off to just use the God Bless You and stamped on Vellum, cut with a Spellbinders Double Ended Tag and adhered over the base of the cross with two antique bronze brads.
My card base is Papertrey Dark Chocolate, the matting is River Rock which I embossed with a CB edge EF. I did a matching panel on the inside and stamped the dove on the envelope. I used a Martha Stewart edge punch for the pines around my image, and I used Papertrey Perect Match ribbon. The prickly pine boughs made me think of the crown of thorns they placed upon Jesus' head.

Grace, you have once again created an amazing card. It seem like everything you touch is an amazing piece of work. Your use of the image on this card is wonderful. You managed to make the sketch look fantastic with all your layers and shape. Just a lovely my dear. Thank you for sharing your talent and humor with the DT this month.
