If you have hopped here from Lori's amazing blog, you are in the right place. If not, please head to the ODBD Blog and start from the beginning......I promise, you don't want to miss a thing. Plus, one of the designer's blogs is the HOT SPOT, from where the winner will be drawn!!
Since I own most of ODBD's stamps, it is difficult to choose just one favorite, so I have chosen two of my "go-to" sets.
My first sample features "Keep My Lamp Burning", which I normally use for masculine cards, but this time around I have a dear friend who loves lighthouses, so I put on some frilly touches. Her favorite lighthouses are red and white, so I sponged red ink, using post-its for masking. The background scene was colored with sponge daubers and ink pads. The compass, seagulls, and lighthouse were all cut out and popped up for extra dimension. If you would like a closer look, please click on the photo.

Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs 'Keep My Lamp Burning';

Fresh and fabulous Angie! Love these designs!
Both of your cards are beautiful. I am partial to butterflies though, so if I had to pick one, it'd be the second one. Love the softness of it too!
Gasp....Angie, dear! I love the boldness of the first one with the striped lighthouse and gorgeous damask paper in the BG. Ohm and that second card...simply stunning and that ever so perfect bow....sigh....love it! Hugs and blessings, Sabrina
Angie! Your cards are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! The colors you've chosen are SO RICH!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS JOB(S)!!!!!!!! :)
Both cards are beautiful!! Love the pop of teal in the second one! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, these cards are beautiful. The lighthouse in red and white remind me of the candy cane story even though it is not a Christmas card. The Faith set is one of my favorites so I always enjoy seeing a card made with this set. Thanks so much
Both of these cards are so pretty... I'm not sure which I like more! How lovely to own most of the ODBD sets and have so many Scriptures to choose from. What a blessing you have!! Thanks for sharing your talent and glorifying God with it!!

Oh Angie, that lighthouse is amazing. I would never have thought to add feminine touches to it, but I love it with that background paper and the lace. I also love the colors.
Your Faith card is beautiful too, you've added so many special touches to it.
I use both of those sets a lot too. They are so versatile, and I love the die for the Faith set!
Both cards are very beautiful. Pat K.
Both your designs are amazing! What a great way to add stripes to your lighthouse, I had wondered at that when I first saw it!
Beautiful card. Lovely colors.
Love the sunrise effect behind the lighthouse....and the damask paper looks amazing....how did you think of that????? The second card is equally as lovely. I have the sketch bookmarked to try.
Seriously?!?!? I LOVE the stripes on the lighthouse!! So clever and striking!! And your sketch and framing of the Faith butterflies is gorgeous!! Two equally stunning creations!! Wow Angie, you blew me away today!!

Love, love, love the warm rich sketch challenge card. . .that die cut in the background is perfect tying together the DP and the image panel. . .adding a bit of airiness to the card (important for butterflies, you know! :) ) Mwaaah!! (And blessings, too!)
Beautiful cards...love the details!
Paper Hugs,

both are just fabulous, Ang!!
Oh my Angie, such stunning work, I so love how you personalized the lighthouse to match your friends love of red and white lighthouses and the dimension and coloring you gave to it also, wonderful.
The second card is just lovely, that die behind the image is so delicate it gives the whole card a sense of softness along with keeping the image uncolored and such pretty shading and lovely bow!
Both Beautiful.
Wow! What beautiful cards! You are a very great artist!
Both cards are lovely. I like the coloring on the first.
Gorgeous cards Angie! Keep My Light Burning is one of my favorite sets and I love the background DP and the lace you used on that card. The colors on the Butterfly Branch card are lovely too.
It's hard to choose a favorite from your two cards. In fact, I cannot. They are both gorgeous and special.
