You're Awsome

Hi Bloggers.

Something a bit different today. I think that teenage boys are probably the most difficult demographic to make cards for unless they're in to football. Sue's Rubbernecker brand at Creative Expressions has just released 2 new stamp sets with Skateboarders featuring on them (they'll be on my shows on Monday). My son, Nathan, is 16 and he loves skateboarding - perfect for him!

Here's my first offering from the Skateboard Silhouettes Stamp Set -

The background is one of my random fun backgrounds.I randomly stamped the Newsprint stamp using Jet Black Archival, the Chicken Wire stamp using Pumice Stone Distress Ink and the large background from the Skateboard Silhouettes Stamp Set using Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. I then edged the whole thing with Pumice Stone using Cut n Dry Foam.

On a separate piece of card, I stamped the Chicken Wire Stamp a couple of times lengthways using Pumice Stone. I then stamped the 3 silhouette images from the stamp set using Jet Black Archival. I trimmed the piece, edged it with Pumice Stone and matted it on to black card.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set again using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using Spellbinders Matting Basics B and edged it with Pumice Stone once out of the die. I cut a mat out of black card using Matting Basics A.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Faux Screw Brad in Antique Silver in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Silver Lustre around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
