Tag with Ole Hand image

I joined a group named Dallas Stampers. We swap at mthly meetings. Swap theme this mth of Sept was 'Hand.' Had to have a hand on it. I searched my stamps & then Cricut cartridges. Found a couple different hands on my Cricut cartridges. Decided to use Ole Hand. Added some embossing, punching & stamping.
