Hello,
I've included 3 of the daily challenges in with this HYCCT challenge, which can be found here: HYCCT1408 - My Hero Chat Thread by bfinlay at Splitcoaststampers
I used VersaMark and silver powder for embossing on my vellum, colored from the other side for a soft look, added pink ribbon for the CAS challenge and used today's sketch...which I love BTW, super user friendly!
I chose this image from ODBD (new release) because first and foremost, in MY life, my biggest hero is Jesus. He SOOOO gave me a brand new heart, new life and saved me from a life of self destruction!!! He has renewed my spirit and has so abundantly blessed me!!!
Thanks for looking!

Robin, this is incredibly special - I had to study it to take in the details such as the silky tassle, the pearl encrusted embossing and the delicate silver embossing colored in pastels! I can't agree more, He is my hero too. A gorgeous, gorgeous Christmas creation, thanks for sharing this!

Wonderful ornament, Robin!!!! This is a beautiful card and a beautiful description! I agree with you and He was my first thought as well when I saw Bridget's challenge although, I ended up in a slightly different directon the theme is there!

Wow Robin, this is exceptionally gorgeous...Love the way you embossed the image on vellum and love the soft colouring of the back of it....you have done a remarkable job... also love the way you say that Jesus is your hero... what a nice thing to say...Not growing up with parents, makes Jesus my hero also...
