It's time for another Inkspiration's inspiration challenge from Keesh! This fabulous image (on the right) totally spurred the creation you see above. I decided to make a "boy" card using some more new stuff that I'd just gotten. I'd bought three of the Extreme images along with the Extreme Elements background and the Certified stamp sets thinking that they'd be perfect for my boys as they grow up. Caleb is beginning to get into that age group where trucks and cars, aliens and robots are neat, but just not as "cool" anymore. And so, what's a good mum to do? BUY MORE STAMPS, hee hee!!Soooooooo, I started out by stamping the skateboard dude, then embossing him with glassy glaze enamel, and cutting the image out. The rest just kind of came together! Hope you like it! Make sure you let me know what you think and then you should totally go check out my challenge team mates (and our special guest DT!) creations and go create your card to link up on Keesh's blog!
