Birthday card for my son


Tricky age, eleven, don't you think? Thank goodness for these skateboarder stamps from "I Brake For Stamps". I've also used stamps from Banana Frog (letters), Cherry pie (splatter) and Inka (star). The rather funky strip of punched black card was to cover up that painful incident of catching the edge of the rubber on the stamp. But I wasn't going to waste good Basic Grey Paper, so I came up with this instead!!

I am entering this for the Crazy Amigo stripe challenge

  4. I love boy cards! They are such a rare thing, don't you think? It seems like all crafty hobbies cater to the feminine side. I love seeing something masculine. Happy birthday to your son! My youngest (Jacob) is 11, too. :o)

  5. Very handsome card for a very handsome young man! 11 may be a tricky age but it is also a very exciting age!
