For the Love
of God's Love Hop!

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Design's Alumni Team's bi-monthly For the Love Blog Hop. This week the Alumni team along with some of the ODBD designers are featuring a hop For the Love of Easter! Check out each link and leave a comment. If you get lost along the way, each stop will have a full list of links. One of the posts is a hop hot spot and a name will be drawn from that list of comments to win a $15 ODBD store gift certificate. So, all you have to do is hop along and see all the creations and leave a little love! You have until Wednesday, March 13th, at 6 pm. Enjoy all the beautiful designs featuring For the Love of Easter!

If you got here from the wonderfully talented Tosh's blog, you are in the right place.

For my card I am using ODBD The Lord Has Risen, Grunge Cross single, and ODBD custom Grunge Cross die. I stamped the cross using Memento peanut brittle ink. I die cut using ODBD Custom Grunge Cross die. I inked the edges and added a tonal gem to the center. I stamped the scripture from The Lord Has Risen set. I finished with a seam binding bow topped with a resin flower.

As always thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy the hop! Next up is the fabulously talented Lisa's blog.

I just wanted to say it was by the Grace of God that this post happened at all. A couple of weeks ago I could not go live for the Love Hop due to router issues. Wednesday, my lap top crashed! Last weekend my camera refused to keep a charge. I took this picture with my phone camera. I apologize for the quality as I had to use my son's laptop for editing. Again, I thank God for helping me with this post! I truly hope it is a Blessing to someone! I kept repeating the scripture!

Hi, Betty - a lovely card. The colors are wonderful, and the black really is striking. The cross image is very pretty. I especially like the left side of your card where you have sewn a small black and white print panel - looks amazing! Pretty card.

It was worth your effort to post as this is a lovely card. The black and gold give a nice masculine feel to it.

The papers you chose for this card and the very graphic design is very striking. It would be perfect to send to anyone, man or woman. The layout is very thoughtful and the sewing really adds depth.

Awesome card! And it did not look like it was taken from a phone camera - not even that could detract from its beauty! So glad you shared.

I hadn't thought to use the grunge cross for an Easter card...but it really works...and the sentiment is perfect. Love how your creative minds can combine elements from different sets! Great card!

So often Easter is about bright colors - yet this is so classy and so beautiful with simple browns and blacks. The colors may be simple but the design is lovely! A great use of the stamps and dies!
