This weeks challenge is to make a Mother's Day card or project!!! Since next weekend is 1.May and the ODBD New Release Hop will take place, the Shining the Light Challenge will last for two weeks. This will give you lots of time to come up with something awesome!!!

As always, we would like to make this challenge a little more fun and so we are giving away a $ 15.00 gift certificate from the ODBD store and to be used towards stamps from the ODBD store!!!

As a way of recognizing those of you who do, we will pick 1 or 2 creations to spotlight and award our Shining the Light Award to. So, if you decide to use your ODBD stamps please make sure that your creation is submitted to the ODBD Blog and added to Mr. Linky no later than 8 p.m.EST on Thursday, 6. May 2010!!!!

If you upload your creation to an online gallery like Splitcoast Stampers or such, please make sure you'll use the keyword ODBDSLC11 . When creating your post for your blog, please make sure you include a link to the challenge.

Now, are you ready for my creation? I made another Mother's day card and used a medium I have not used in a while.....my watercolor pencils. Wow, I almost forgot how much fun it is to color with watercolors. For my image I chose the Mother's Day set called "MOM" which was released at the beginning of the month.

Have a look

Mom





Recipe:


Paper:PTI White, Bazzill textured moss, Basic Grey Porcelain, watercolor paper





Stamps: ODBD Mom

I just love the way the Shimmerz paint makes this flower pop.
