I made this one for the OWH Sketch challenge #106 found
here. I used SU's Extreme Snowboarder image and stamped it with Versamark, adding clear detail ep to give it a little shine. I sponged the background clouds with Ranger tumbled glass ink, and added some sprays of stickles to the sides of the board to look like glistening snow. The cardstock base is Rustic Cream from PTI and I embossed it with a Sizzix Snowcap ef. The black border on the side is from the
SNSS Hearts & Stars scallop border dies. I tweaked the sketch a little bit and added a sentiment from the SU! So Many Sayings set, because the bottom of the card just looked unbalanced. I frayed the ends of the ribbon just to coordinate with the sporty theme of this card.
I always enjoy having you spend a little of your day here with me, and I appreciate your taking time to leave comments too! Have a fabulous Sunday!

WOW Carol, this is great. I love how you did the side panel and frayed the ribbon edges. The black and white with just that little touch of blue gives a stunning appearence. Enjoy your Sunday.

Great card! Those clouds are awesome!!! TFS!!!
ReplyDeleteThe sponged clouds are a perfect backdrop for this image and I like the frayed ribbon edges too. Great card for a teen boy (which is always the hardest category for me). Nice work on this week's OWH sketch challenge Carol!
