a-hambo-challenge.jpg  Well HI there!

I bet ya’ll thought I’d never update this blog..lol.  I’m real sorry for the absence, but it was necessary.  I have not stamped in nearly a week, but I’m starting to feel the itch again.  

Today’s early submission is a Hambo Challenge.   Our challenge was to use one of Hambo’s ’signature’ stamps to create a card/project.  Now these stamps are generally used on the back of a card, but we wanted to show that they can be used on the card itself, too! 

Shortly after getting the challenge handed down, I knew what I wanted to do.  I made this little truck card using various punches and alot of prayer that it would work out… heehee.   It is paper pieced together with various levels of dimension. 

Here’s the deets:

Stamps:  How’s my Stamping by Hambo Stamps (www.hambostamps.com)

 Colors:  Yo Yo Yellow, Basic Black, Real Red, Cool Caribbean

Ink: Versamark, black and white gel pens

Accessories: dimensionals, circle punches, scissors, corner rounder punch

I’ll be back later to link the other challenge cards as they get posted.   What a fun challenge….. thanks, Monica!

TFL!~ and have a blessed day!

Holly, this is just great. I don’t own any Hambo stamps yet. Why don’t I? I have no good answer for that. I think I need to go shopping! Your card is absolutely adorable! TFS
