It's Hip Hop Challenge Day Peeps!!

It's WEDNESDAY, and that means its time for another Unity Hip Hop Challenge to get us geared up and ready for tomorrow's Hip Hop par-tay! Rumour has it that there may even be a new Unity stamp set released during the HIP HOP THURSDAY celebrations. Dont' miss a minute of the fun in the Unity forums on SCS. (If you are lost and wondering what the heck HIP HOP THURSDAY is, check out this thread.) Ok, onto our challenge for today. Latisha picked the challenge, which was to create a square card with scallops on it. We even have a sketch for your inspiration, which will be posted in the forum. Link up your creation in the Unity forum so we can see everyone's work.
Unity has a bunch of wonderful quote stamps, which are pretty big and will stand out perfectly on a card front. I have always loved this bible verse and it's one I can relate to pretty well. After my father passed away in 1997, for the longest time thereafter, I struggled with my faith. I went to church, I prayed, and it just didnt feel the same. I couldn't understand why my father was taken from us so early in his life and I carried a lot of anger. It was one Sunday at mass that I heard this verse, and honestly, this may have been the only part of the reading that I "heard." But, for me, this verse says, have faith, even the smallest amount, because, with God, all things are possible. Thank you so much for stopping by, and thank you for reading my personal story. (I usually don't do that.....) HAPPY STAMPING.
Card Recipe: Paper: SU Artichoke, Marigold Morning, PTI White, Basic Grey Sugared DSP. Ink: I used SU Markers: Mustard and Artichoke on the stamp. Stamps: Unity single Move Mountains. Accessories: Pearl Dew Drops, Threading Water Border Punch.
