ODBDSLC133... Gettin' Sketchy!

Hello friends!!  It is Tuesday and that means time for a brand spankin' new Shining the Light challenge!  This week the challenge team is bringing you an absolutely fantastic sketch to spark your creativity!  


For my card I decided to use several of my most favorite ODBD stamp sets, Faith, Butterfly Corner and Butterfly, Single.    The color scheme came from the patterned papers that I used from the brand new My Mind's Eye Lost & Found 3 Oliver 6x6 pad.  I stamped the Butterfly Corner image using SU!'s Marina Mist and then die cut it using a plain Spellbinders die and then matted the image with plain circle die cut from navy blue cardstock.  The butterfly was stamped on white cardstock using More Mustard ink, die cut using the matching ODBD butterfly die and then the edges painted with Diamond Stickles.  A second butterfly was stamped on some of the Oliver patterned paper with More Mustard, die cut with the butterfly die and covered in Diamond Stickles.  Once the butterflies were dry they were layered over the main image.   I stamped the verse from the Faith set using Marina Mist, but it is a little hard to see.  Finished the card off with a fun doily and some lace. 
 
As always, we will be giving out a prize, a $15.00 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!!!

I love this card Rosi. I think I need to order the corner to go with my butterfly and die. All those butterfly layers look beautiful.

I love the colors and papers, and all the lace too!
