Card for a boy .....

Hi everyone
my sis in law asked me for a card for an 11yr old boy... and another one for a 6 yr old boy.... lucky enough i had 2 made up that she was very happy to buy off me... but i made me notice i didn't have loads of older boys cards if any made up for people to pick from.... or quick orders .... so i have made this card today... its a stamp i bought years ago... and i can not remember where it is from... dimentions or something along them lines i think.... the papers are from digi papers off my comp... backone is bearly mine designs... middle one and the skull is The paper shelter gothic papers .... not sure where the skate board came from ... had it that long... and the happy birthday is a magnolia stamp i have had for years..... i am entering this card into the

Very long time no blogging.... A card for the boys

This is the card i have made for my Dads birthday which is today... the stamp is from lili of the valley... the papers are from bearly mine designs... i have used craft card to stamp the image on...i have used my promarkers to colour the image.. the punch is a one i have had for years.. and not sure who makes it.. but i love it... i also dug out my very old rub on metallic things.. they look like little eye shadows but waxy.. never used them much.. but they distressed the papers and image just the right amount... so i had fun using this.. i added 3 bits of candy at the bottom of the card.. with a Birthday peel off on the bottom of the easel card....

i am going to enter this into Dutch Dare card challenge... this is the 1st ever challenge i entered years ago.. so thought i would revisit them and see if i coud get myself blogging again...the challenge is for the boys.... http://dutchdare-cardchallenges.blogspot.com/
