ODBD's Second Anniversary Celebration and Challenge: Day 2

Hello everyone! Welcome to Day 2 of the Our Daily Bread design's Second Anniversary Celebration! I hope you have had a chance to play along on yesterday's challenge! ( Just for your information, ALL the week's challenges were posted on the Our Daily Bread designs Blog on Mar. 7 as well as a link to that post posted in our SCS Member Forum, because we wanted you ALL to have time to play and have plenty of chances to win!!!)

Today, our challenge is an inspiration challenge, inspired by a Collage of various China, since China is the "Contemporary Gift" for the second anniversary! Here is the photo we used for our inspiration:

Totally gorgeous and inspiring pieces in this photo!!! Our challenge is to use any one of these pieces or to use the overall china theme to make your creation. We hope you'll play along with us, and link your creation to the Anniversary Celebrations Day 2 post with Mr Linky on the ODBD Blog by 8:00pm EST Monday! Please link the challenge in your post, and only new work, no back links please. The winner will receive a $20.00 Gift Certificate to go toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread designs store!!!

I used "Path of Life" and colored it with a combination of water color and chalks. The chalks are Pearlescent by Pebbles and added a shimmer to the whole scene. I added Ultra fine Flower Soft in Citrus Crush and Rasberry Fizz. I layered the scene on a mat of gold and used my Martha Stewart Mega Edge Punch to make the lattice border. The flowers are mostly ZVA Creative, and I added a touch of Stickles to the edges of the petals, and some MS punched leaves. I just love this set and it was so fun to color!  I also entered this into Stampin Sisters in Christ's challenge today which was based on Ps. 29:11"The Lord will give strength unto His people; the Lord will bless his people with peace".  The challenge was to make a project using a peaceful image or verse about peace.  When I saw it, I knew this image had to be it!  The peace that God gives is a peace beyond our own comprehension... it's an inner peace between us and God... that He has forgiven our sins and placed us in relationship with Him, because of the shed blood of Christ.  When we have received Him, He promises to show us the path of life, which is the name of this set.  What a blessed thought for the Lord's day!
