Today's card is perfect for boys, whether young, teen, or even those grown men who think they are still boys. The current catty has an entire collection of "Extreme" stamps - Extreme Snowboard, Extreme Surfboard, Extreme Skateboard, Extreme Dirtbike, and Extreme Guitar. What a unique bunch of stamps - check them out on page 80 of the catty! The creations I think up for these stamps are all very abstract, which is a nice change.
Not only have I combined some interesting colors, but I also have combined two interesting stamp sets - Extreme Snowboard and Trendy Trees. No, there are no trees on this card. The little swirly that is one of 4 leaf choices for the Trendy Trees stamp set makes a perfect "action swirl"! I think it looks rather cool!
How did I make the little ridges on the Old Olive strip of cs? I embossed grooves into the cs at repeated intervals using a stylus & paper trimmer (the stylus is run through the groove in the paper trimmer). I grooved it almost to the end & folded over a little cuff. A small oval punch works well for a little tab - just punch, fold in half, & add a brad or eyelet!
The snowboard dude is adhered with dimensionals. Hope you like it!
