ODBD Stamping In Time Challenge(SNTODBD26), Curtain Call, Color Throwdown and MORE!

It is time for Our Daily Bread Designs Stamping In Time: On Assignment Challenge(SNTODBD26)! The assignment is Our Daily Bread Design stamps. Sarah Nelson is our challenge host this rotation. Sarah Nelson is challenging us to "All Creatures Great and Small!" Any creatures great and small work for this challenge. So, without too much direction, we want you to interpret it the way you want. We looking forward to seeing what you create using Our Daily Bread Design stamps

For the top card I am using ODBD Sing for Joy stamp set. My little creature is the newly released butterfly stamp and buttefly die cut. I am using the sketch from SFYTT January 2011. The colors are from Stacey's Curtain Call Act 64 .

Check out the samples made by the ODBD designers and challenge host! Randi Grace Angie Chrissy Fran Lorelie and Sarah

I also made another card. This card uses the newly released ODBD set called Faith.

I am using the sketch from Midnight Madness MMSC86. I am using the colors from Color Throwdown 124. For this card I was going with more of a CAS styling, but using the colors from the challenge as the dominant colors with very little white showing. For the image, I stamped it and cut it out with ODBD Tag Die cut. I decided to color the background only. I used soft hues of blues. I added a touch of my copics C1 to the branch and to the butterflies. I next topped them off with some glitter. I love the final effect. I finished my card with some texture, button and bow, and some flourished bling. Here is a picture of the butterflies up close. I was trying to capture more of the sparkle.

I am also entering my cards in a few other blog challenges!

Beautiful creations, Betty! Wonderful coloring! Always fabulous details!

In answer to your question about the background, I started with white cardstock, scored and then swiped using one color, sponged with two others and then stamped using ODBD Woodbackground.
