Still working single handed so bare with me. Our TSC this week was to create a card using the sentiment only and some sort of distressing. I took a stencil and placed it on my CS and randomly stamped the sentiment "HOPE". I used Faded Denim and stamped off the CS for a few of the words to make them look like part of the background. I sponged around the border of the stencil but still felt it needed something else to define it so I used a Sharpie to draw an outline of the image; then using a ruler, I drew rain dashes using the same Sharpie. Distressed the edges of the CS with Stampin Up distress tool. Sponged Faded Dinem on the card edge. Pretty simple.

Hoping and praying for rain. Tate, where is your Tater pink, wasn't that the challenge? LOL You should be honored that I am making you so many Tater Pink cards. I even named all my pink colors after you. Hope your hand is well soon.

Sista, one handed stamping, I am impressed! I've missed you so much, and it's heart warming to see you posting. ( even if'n I is #2 on "the list", instead of numba 1) Praying you up some rain, and smiling to know He answers.

Bless you heart, Tater, stamping one handed!!! What a trooper you are - I can practically see the concentration - like a child drawing something that has their tongue out the side of their mouth to get it right!!
A beautiful prayer is what this is - Of trust in the Father to provide for our needs, Love the doodled rain (for last week) and the distressed umbrella and edges for this week - now you are cookin' - two challenges in one!! Way to go , Tater !
Keeping y'all in prayers for some good downpours that last a while!! Thank you, Jesus!!
