Away from the norm

I don't usually make good luck cards. I have some photo cards that I thought I'd never use - pictures to do with gambling and casinos - as a Christian, I don't go in for all of that.

However, I saw the challenge of UK Stampers Sunday challenge to make something with a credit card or gift card. Ages ago I acquired a handful of 'credit card' type cards, among them was the casino one I've used here. So I thought I would depart from the norm and make a good luck card (don't know what I'll do with it, because I won't want to send it to anyone).

The card also nicely fits into the new challenge on ABC to make a male card, and also incorporates numbers, which is the challenge this week on Arty Girlz.

So, with a card I really didn't want to make, I've covered three different challenges!



It was very difficult to get a photo (now replaced with a slightly better one), because of the gold mirri card that's been layered and the gold foiling on the casino member card. The 'good luck' stamp is a HOTP one - stamped with versamark and heat embossed with gold detail. And irl the black background card does look as black as the casino card.

Anyone want a good luck card?
