Trusting In The Lord For All Things: Text or Script Challenge and a Walk Down Memory Lane

Hey Everybody,

I'm back with another challenge today.

Our challenge was to use text or script on our card. You can find the challenge here.

I started looking through my book of dies to find something for this challenge. I found the baseball cap and that was the start. I knew I had a House Mouse bunny with a baseball that I could add. It is an older House Mouse stamp called, Great Catch.

I needed something else to complete the image panel. So, I printed a small baseball diamond.

The image was colored with Copic Markers. I fussy cut the bunny to add him in front of the hat. The hat was stamped with Memento tuxedo black ink.

I added the hat and image with dimensionals. This will go to a local nursing home to be used by residents.

Think about it, what would you use. Here are some suggestions.

You might choose book paper, patterned paper with text, stamped script, embossing folders, or even your own handwritten words!

I found it enjoyable to go through my designer series paper to see what I had that would fit the challenge. That's why I love these challenges. They get me going through my supplies and pulling out things I haven't used in a long time.

I can't remember when the last time was that I used the baseball cap die.

I hope you give this challenge a try. It doesn't matter if it comes out the way you want, but that you tried something out of the ordinary for your stamping. You will grow in your skills, little by little.

Check out some of my cards and 3D items from 20 years ago! Oh boy, stamping and I both have come a long way in 20 years. We didn't have dies back then everything was cut with scissors. Do you remember the 24 scissors that had different edges? They were so popular back then.

We stamped on tiles you'd find in building. My husband and I spent time on the floor at Home Depot making sure that my box of tiles didn't have any broken tiles in it before I purchased it. We used the tiles as coasters and sold them in sets of 4 at our craft shows. We added cork to the bottom so they wouldn't scratch your table.
