Need for Speed for Monkey Challenge #94

This card got my (almost) 13-year-old son's thumbs up. Every year for his birthday invitations, he requests military-type stamps and colors. His favorite thing to do with his friends is to play with Nerf guns. Using the A La Card Monkey Challenge #94: Birthday + Sketch, I came up with this card. I used a pattern from the Pocketful of Posies dsp pack, along with Baja Breeze and Night of Navy colors. Here's the sketch:

 

Stamps: Need for Speed, On Your Birthday, Send Me Soaring;

Ink: Baja Breeze, Night of Navy;

Paper: Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Night of Navy, Pocketful of Posies dsp;

Accessories: Oval punch, Scallop Oval punch, dimensionals, Subtles buttons, 1/8" Baja Breeze taffeta ribbon.

Extreme Skateboard great for teen-age boy card...

Extreme Skateboard is a single stamp that I think is perfect for my nephew's birthday card. He turns 13 this week. I ran the Pear Pizzazz dsp through the Polka Dot embossing folder and adhered it with the depressions side up. I wanted the skateboarder to look like he was getting some serious air, so I left lots of white space above and below him. The photo corner punch helps the top right not look so empty, and the vintage brads add a little metal toughness to the card. I hope you're having a great weekend!
