Oddly, I don't have any hand images and we've already established during VSN that I don't have any clock stamps. But I do have this stamp extolling the virtues of handmade cards. I also had a hand-fan stamp waiting to be used. It's very flowery and ornate and very much not my style, so it worked well for me to hide it behind my sentiment panel and it was shaped perfectly for SC175. I grabbed a piece of paper that I had just randomly brayered Kaleidacolor ink (I want to say the name was Caribbean?) while I was at Anne's house and I stamped the fan all over it for added interest. Then I stamped, cut and sponged the fan using Evergreen Bough. I had a lot of fun making this card. I got a little worried somewhere in the middle that it was going to be a disaster, but it all fell into place better than I pictured.

Great take on today's challenge as HANDmade (IMHO) connotes a caring beyond standing in line at a "pre-made card" store. And though lacy may not be your style, it works so well to decorate your sentiment.
PS (Definitely Caribbean Seas - I have that old rainbow pad, too!)

No clocks! I have to say I don't really have any hand images myself, so that surprises me less. You certainly came up trumps with a super-fun sentiment and wonderful colours.

I can't believe what you are missing in stamps. We'll have to fix that! Love the saying and the fan behind it!

ooooo---I love that stamp! I would frame it for my craft space! If they didnt have rules about making a stamp part of your "logo" I would probably stamp the back of every card with it even though I would not mean it to be part of my logo.
What a pretty showcase you made for it!
