it's my turn to choose the challenge and I thought I'd do something a little fun. The challenge is "Go Hybrid" (not to be confused with "Go Hybird" which would have us all waving at our feathered friends). So, I want to see both digital and physical (clear, rubber) stamping on your project. That's not too hard, right?
This is what I did.....
The flower is a digi stamp from AJ's Digi Shop and the sentiment is from the Deepest Sympathy set from MFT.
I used my MISTI to get the sentiment on there just right. I must say, even as an almost exclusive digi user, I do very much see the value of the MISTI. As you can see, I've used textured cardstock. No way you get a good stamping on that with just one go. I'll also say that those MISTI magnets....my gawd....I'd be concerned if someone with a pacemaker ever walked into my house, that's for sure. Those suckers are POWERFUL, aren't they? I know, I know, they tell you to keep them away from each other coz they're brittle and can break. Really though, without holding one in each hand, arms extended completely outward from your body, how are you all keeping them from slapping together?? I had set one on my fingertips and one on the heel of my hand and was just going to move a few thing about when WHAM they snapped together catching a piece of my thumb on the way by and breaking the one in the process. Hey, I'm not complaining....I knew the warnings. I just wonder if they need to be quite THAT strong. I'm thinking of taking mine to the beach and just going for a walk and waving them over the sand to see what treasures I can find. I'll look when I start sucking boats into the shore, won't I?
Why not give our challenge a go this week and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up? And, while you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.
