It is Saturday.......

and this means another Shining the Light Challenge over at ODBD and today we are challenging you to create an Easter card or Easter project!!!! Can you believe that next week is Easter already? Goodness, time flies. And as you already know from our previous Shining the Light Challenges we want to make this even more fun...so we are giving away a $ 15.00 gift certificate to be used toward stamps from the Our Daily Bread Designs Store!!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Thursday, April 1 at 8 p.m. EST!!!! One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday on the ODBD Blog. While not required to use ODBD images and sentiments on your creations, we would LOVE to see them if you have them and for doing so we will recognize 1 to 2 creations to spotlight for our Shining the Light Award. In order to qualify for this award, you must use ODBD stamps and have your creation added to Mr. Linky by April 1 , 2010, 8 p.m. EST!!!!


If you upload your creation to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword ODBDSLC7 . When creating your posts on blogs, please include a link to the challenge, so we know that we are commenting on the right creation ;D.


So, are you ready for what I came up with? Well I actually have 2 cards to share with you. The second I just had to upload as well, because when I think Easter and Resurrection, I also think pretty bright fun dresses for my 2 girls ;D;D. Somewhat what this card is bright and fun!! But let me show # 1 first.


He has risen.........




Recipe:


Paper:PTI White, Memory Box Frond, Bazzill textured shade of green



Stamps: ODBD Happy Easter

Ink: VersaMark, white embossing powder, Chalk Box Bisque, Watercolor Pencils and my trusty Blender Pen

Accessories: green satin ribbon, Daffodil colored Dew Drops, Tim Holtz distressing tool







You might see it in this photo..the daffodil is layered. I have another side view photo of it...have a look and see. I know this is a pretty simple card, but this is exactly what I was trying to achieve here. Make a CAS card. God does not care if we make elegant and elaborate cards or clean and simple card...there are many ways of glorifying him ;D;D.





Side view of above card!!



























All right, on to my second card! This one is very different. A little, yep, a little more work went into this one, but the reason for that is, that I wanted it to look like one of those fun Easter dresses with all kinds of bling and flowers I was going to buy for my girls




Blessings.......

Paper:PTI Vintage Cream, K&Company Wild Raspberry, DCWV Mariposa cs pad, SU Certainly Celery

These are beautiful. I love the distressing you did on the first one.. It is perfect for this type of card.. The second one is wonderful.. I miss those days of buying Easter dresses. I remember one year I made the girls all matching dresses.. Those were fun days. Great job.

Sabrina...I was in awe at the first card and then I saw the second one and my jaw just dropped on the floor! How absolutely stunningly beautiful! Wow!

Wowzer Sabrina, I just looked at your blog and it seems that I am not getting your posts via your updates. There must be at least 5 new cards since I've last been to your blog. Gosh your cards just get more beuatiful if that is possible. The amount of detail you put into each one is just fantastic.
