At ODBD, the challenge was to use our favorite stamp this week - THAT is impossible - as I have far too many favorites in their Scripture Collections, but being that it is Holy Week, my mindset fell upon this one because of the context. This "command" of Jesus has been one of my favorites, going back almost 50 years ago. I did my card in browns and a pale green, added the twine, twisted and tied to resemble the crown of thorns, and used the nails to symbolize the 'greatest Love'.
This also meet the TSC0406 challenge to make a card in shades of brown and 1 other color, and use 2 nesties and some twine or ribbon. Use the Keyword TSC0406 if you would like to join us so we can all see your card.
Wishing you all a blessed Easter filled with His peace!

Beautiful card, Greenie and what a lovely verse you selected. Your cross is awesome - and your twine does look like the crown of thorns - wonderful job!
