Welcome to the current Make My Monday challenge which is Hobbies for the next two weeks. Many people love to play golf and with the help of a wonderful stamping buddy I used this image to portray the sport/hobby of golf. I am so fortunate with my stamping buddy group as 2 of the ladies responded to a call for help when I asked for Golf related images. I have nothing in my own stash of stamps and had received a request for a Christmas related golfing card. I asked and received a bunch of stamped images from various stamp sets that I could use as I pleased. This image is from a StampinUp set as are the words. I coloured and fussy cut the image and popped it up on the unbranded stitched edge banner after I had added some green sponging at the bottom. I cut a larger banner by hand, as none of the other dies would work, then used an EF brick look folder for some texture. Using a swiss dot EF on the debossed side I die cut a circle with Hero Arts Infinity dies and also a few small balls for below the bag. The background was created with both vellum and a green shimmer CS using a folder by Life Style crafts and this was added to the darker blue piece so a small border shows. I deliberately allowed some glue to show through the vellum as it reminded me of the sky. The rest was added on top and then all was adhered to the card front. This is a slightly larger card for which I shall create my own envelope. It is not quite a slimline but is close.
The other received images will be used moving forward and I’ve already begun the requested Christmas one. Thanks to my lovely buddies I didn’t have to purchase stamp sets that may only be used once or twice.
I hope to see you in the gallery and thanks for stopping by and for comments too.

That’s just brilliant! Love all the texture effects you’ve included

Great job! The golf ball you created is perfect to go along with the bag. Always happy to help when needed, especially with images that rarely get used. That set was given to me and she found it at Goodwill.
