Happy May!


Good morning to you!  It's May and time for new Our Daily Bread designs releases!  We are having a 'May Day' blog hop today and if you arrived here from the incredible Julie's blog, then you are following along correctly!   If you just happened to stop by, you can start the hop at the ODBD blog.  The hop will run through May 3, at 8pm EST. The winners will be announced on the ODBD blog on Tues. May 4.  Kelley has generously offered to give three prizes of $15.00 Gift Certificates to the ODBD Store for stamps.  For a chance to win, just collect our flowers(words), leave a comment, then return to the ODBD Blog and send Grace an email at gnywening@yahoo.com stating that you have completed the hop, left comments on each blog and then give her the words(flowers) you found. 
Also, if for any reason you cannot leave a comment on someone’s blog, just let Grace know, 
and she will still enter you in the drawing.  We want you to have fun, not stressed out!

Today, I am sharing a card I made using the new set called God's Hands!  This is such a powerful image and the accompanying scriptures and sentiments are perfect for the image.  For my design, I used the sketch provided this week at Midnight Madness.  The background layer is embossed with the Cuttlebug Victoria embossing folder and sponged with Regal Rose ink.  The layer behind the main panel was done with the long scalloped rectangle Spellbinders die.  I just cut off the ends to fit my design.  I stamped the image with Basic Gray ink and then over-stamped the scripture in Stazon black ink.  Then I used a Spellbinders oval to emboss around the image.  After that, I sponged the edges with Regal Rose and spritzed it with Pearl Glimmer mist.  To finish the card I added a tiny bow made with my Bow Easy
and then I tied on a charm I received from my sweet friend America, with some silver cord. 

Here are the supplies I used:

SU! Basic Gray, Regal Rose, and White cardstocks
SU! Regal Rose designer paper
SU! Regal Rose ink
Stazon ink
SU! ribbon and silver cord
Spellbinders Scalloped Rectangle die
Charm


Now, on with the Hop!  Don't forget to pick the flowers!!  LOL!  
Here is a photo of the flowers you need to pick to add to your basket.

TULIPS

Your next stop on the hop is the fabulous Connie!  She has something wonderful to share with you!  I really love that you have spent some time with me today!  See you again soon!!!
