Hi Everyone, I hope you are all well and enjoying the wonderful weather. I am going to be spending most of the day in the kitchen baking today...preparing some yummy treats before my guests arrive tomorrow...I'm feeling quite excited now and I am soo looking forward to having a relax myself as Jack will go and stay with his Dad for a week..whoo hoo!! ;)
On to my card for today...in complete contrast to the flowery cards over the past few days... I have gone all grungy today.
On to my card for today...in complete contrast to the flowery cards over the past few days... I have gone all grungy today.
The quirky image is 'Christian' from Simply Betty Stamps. I love it!....it reminds me of my son Christos when he was young...he was a real sk8er boy....so I know all about 180's, 360's & Kickflips! LOL...he used to wear similar style clothes too but his jeans were the really really baggy style...in fact I have a funny story to share...Chloe & I went on a shopping trip to New York...Chris had given me a big list of Skate shops to visit...I walked into one of these shops and was looking at the baggy jeans...when a rather burly guy came over and said..."give me your bags"...oh my gosh I thought...I am being robbed!!...but there was know way I was handing over my Louis Vuitton and a full mornings shopping...so I basically told him to F off!...again he said...."ma'am give me your bags please!"....the muggers in NY are very polite I thought...again I refused using some rather harsh words!!...so he walked away..I sighed a breath of relief and I continued with my shopping..... It wasn't until I reached the checkout that I realised that the poor guy worked for the store...and it was the stores policy to check in your shopping bags on entry...to reduce shoplifting I suppose...I felt so embarrassed that I had been so rude to the poor man...and couldn't apologise enough..I bet he thought that English ladies are right loonies!! ROFLAnyways...back to the card I have coloured the image with Copic Markers. The papers have took a lot of ..distressing, ripping, sanding and inking with Distress Ink in Black Soot. The papers are from the 'Grunge' collection by Kaisercraft and the 'Extreme Teen' collection by Bo Bunny. The Ticket Sentiment is a Tim Holtz Adage and the other sentiments were stamped using the Little Yellow Bicycle 'Zach's Life' stamp set.
Here are the Copic Colours:
Skin: E000, E00, R01, R11
Eyes: E55, E57.
Hair: E44, E47, E49.
Hat: YG91, YG95, YG97.
Top: E40, E41, E42.
Jeans: B91, B93, B95.
Shoes: C1, C3.
Skateboard: C3, C5, C7, C9, E07.
Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
Hugs

What a fun card! I think you're about ready for that break while Jack visits with his Dad! You have me laughing over the
