If you were here yesterday you will know that I have been playing around with making my own stamps. I first saw it on Godelieve's blog who is taking a course from Julie Baltzer.
Here is my second attempt ... actually a bunch of different styles of chevron. I don't own a chevron set so I thought this would come in handy. You should see all the great cards I created with it!
Here is one example:
This particular Chevron I call "chevron stitched". I thought it kinda looked like a jean pocket ... which reminded me of this star I had made out of some old jeans. I think the end result is real rustic looking. This card would be great for a young boy or teenager.
Tomorrow will be my Crafty Creations Challenge but then I'll be back on Thursday with some more cards using some of the other Chevron stamps I created! One might just be a Christmas card!!
Thanks for dropping by, Donelda

I love this card, perfect like you said for a masculine card. Great job. Going to go check the one I missed yesterday. I am also having so much trouble with the new format on the code to link to you guys that use it. I have to try 4-5 times to get a comment posted.
I'm thinking this is a brilliant way to get have some of the "trendier" images without spending a ton of bucks! Of course, it requires the talent to create them. These chevrons are awesome! Terrific first example, too. (I'm with Linda -- the new word verification is much more annoying than it used to be. :P)
I agree too that the word verification is even more of a pain than it used to be! I'd love to turn mine off but the last few times I did I had huge trouble with crazy posts and viruses!!
I love your homemade chevron stamps. The striped border looks awesome :0)

That "jean star" is so cool!
