Awesome Boy's Card!

by Joanne James21. February 2014 21:01

So here is my second card of the day, just in time for this week's challenge over at Less is More where the theme this week is 'masculine cards'. I decided to use the 'Cool Kid' stamp set for my card; when I saw this stamp set I just had to have it - my children always get so excited if they have been chosen as the class 'cool kid' for the day at school. So here is my card:

I chose to use the Brights colour combination of Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Tangerine Tango for my card - all colours my son would love! - and having stamped the dog in orange, I coloured in his scarf and boots with my Stampin' Write markers. I used the blue to outline both my circle and sentiment panel, then picked up the orange with a thin strip cut from a piece of cardstock embossed with the new Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I inked up the sentiment using my markers too, so that I could have multi-coloured lettering - I love the effect that this give on this card.

I used this week's sketch over at Create with Connie and Mary for my layout.

Back soon with another card; until then, happy stampin'!

Thanks Chrissie - works for the 6 year olds I think, maybe not the grown up ones!

I really like this.  Such a cute card for a "kid" of any age!  Love the way you used one strip of the embossing folder!  I need to try that.  Great color combo.  Thanks for playing the Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge this week!

Thanks Lisa. I don't use my embossing folders as much as I should - I sometimes find them overwhelming! The arrows one is a really versatile one though - already getting lots of use.
