and you will be collecting our Secret Words as you hop along,

so you will want them in the order given!  

  

You have until Tues at 8:00PM EST to complete the requirements to be eligible to win.

There will be TWO BLESSED WINNERS... who will each receive a $15.00 Gift Certificate to the Our Daily Bread designs Store to go toward the stamps of your choice! Winners will be randomly chosen from all the qualified entries, and announced on Wed. Mar.3 on the ODBD Blog!

Here is what you need to do to be eligible to win:

Now on to my project:

 

 If you have been keeping up with our sneak peeks, you already know how gorgeous the sets are this month!  My card today features the set called The Lord Has Risen.  The violets are gorgeous and there are three scriptures included.  I included the close up photo above, hoping you'll be able to see the violets better. I stamped the image a second time so that I could layer the violets.  After coloring them, I turned them over onto a piercing mat and ran my stylus on the backside to give them rounded petals.  I also did this with some of the leaves.  Then I turned the violets back over and with the same stylus pushed in the center of each flower.  I sprayed them with Glimmer Mist and added pearls.  I also did the Out of the Box Nestie technique, which I have never done!  I followed a great tutorial by my friend and DT sister, Julie Warner!  After I finished though, I felt the card needed one more thing, so I cut out a very slim oval using two Spellbinders ovals and added the brown frame.  So that's it!  Here are all the supplies I used for this card:
