This is my card for today's challenge. Make a card using non traditional stamping *stuff*. This is my story!
1. I was gonna put three little brads in the lower left hand corner.
2. I was gonna leave a border on the right side and basically fill it with this awesome red and black polka dotted/striped ribbon that Etsdas sent me.
3. I was gonna punch out letters to spell the words...good luck...and use this as a good luck card.
4. I was gonna actually stamp sending happy thoughts on the playing card itself, but they are slick and I don't trust my stamping ability.
5. I was gonna make this a happy birthday card for someone who is a clown/joker but my happy birthday stamps weren't the right size for that corner.
6. My photographer said, What is this? I explained the challenge. He said you shoulda made an electrician's card and put a wire nut on it! (He is an electrician you know...that is why *we* still need a light bulb in *our* photography room!)

Oh man girl! The wire nut would have been right up Larry's alley. He is a master electrician and my doorbell did not work for 20 years. Finally works, but nobody uses it now cuz it never did! Love your card, very creative. Note to self, don't play cards at the Motherway house, Cindy doesn't have a full deck!

This is clever!! Love that use of old cards. You know once you lose a few, the deck makes great other projects. TFS
