Hello everyone! I'm so excited to be able to say that Our Daily Bread designs WEEKLY CHALLENGES have begun! Today marks the first day of our first challenge and we have a whole new challenge team making fabulous samples for you! The challenge is called Shining The Light Challenge and is posted on the ODBD blog every Sat. morning. You can also read about it on the SCS Member Co Forum under Our Daily Bread designs. Today's challenge is to use hearts... in any way! How easy is that! This is my submission for today's ODBD challenge, as well as for IC218 on SCS. I am also submitting it to the Crafty Creations Challenge (wings) , Pollycraft Monday (things with wings) and the ABC challenge - N is for New.... this is the NEW release from Our Daily Bread designs.
My image is stamped in Memento Ink and colored with Copics. It is one of the four fabulous New Release sets from ODBD called Sing For Joy. The beautiful swirly dp is Anna Griffith, the green dp is Chatterbox, the base is MS Red, and the QuicKutz swirls are cut out of River Rock and Old Olive, and slightly offset to create dimension and shadow effect. The birdhouse is a piercing template I got at a local stamp store, Terryfic Times. I used my Ornare Piercing Tool to pierce the design and hand cut the house out. I added little MS punched hearts for the roof overhang, and an EK Success heart cut out for the little heart on top and the heart with swirls on the base. Did some sponging and popped the image up on dimensionals. I split the sentiement so that the first line is on the front and the rest is on the inside. Inside I used a new Sizzix EF and lightly chalked the raised areas.
Thanks as always for looking! I hope you have a blessed weekend! Please check out the ODBD Challenge Team samples... they will wow you!!!

Grace, your card is gorgeous...inside and out!! I'm feeling rather guilty because I rarely add more than a sentiment on the inside of cards. You inspire me to change that habit!
I love this, I love the bird and the way you decorated the card and I absolutely love the sentiment.

Just gorgeous Grace! I just visited a blog belonging to a lady who lives in MD. She posted a pic of a cardinal in a tree covered in snow in her backyard. This reminded me of it! I love cardinals!
