Hi, everyone! Today's Ways To Use It Challenge is called "In Stitches". Instead of using a sewing theme, I used hand-stitching in the top corner. My card features both the "Howdy" set and "Ride 'Em Cowboy" set, along with the Wood Background stamp, ODBD Custom Fence Die, ODBD Custom Pierced Ovals Dies, ODBD Custom Ovals Dies, ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies and the ODBD Custom Circles Dies (to cut a mask to sponge the sun). The large cactus from "Howdy" was stamped in green then fussy cut. The scripture verse and half of the image from "Ride 'Em Cowboy" was stamped in green, cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Ovals Dies and matted with the ODBD Custom Ovals Dies set. Using a die from the ODBD Custom Circles Dies set, a mask was created in order to sponge the orange sun. The background panel (cut out and "re-sized" into a square with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies set) and green fence (cut with the ODBD Custom Fence Die) were stamped in green with the Wood Background stamp. Linen thread was sewn into the top corner (after piercing with a paper piercer) to coordinate with the thread woven around the fence. Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

Outstanding! Love your attention to detail. Nice touches for the stitches challenge. Marvelous verse. Love that! Great scene to illustrate it, like the cowboys who traveled over dusty, cactus lined trails and rode around fences. Nice touch to weave the twine through the fence. Well done!! TFS
