Happy 16th

 My great nephew is turning 16, I always do cards with some kind of vehicle for the boys when they turn 16. I stamped and embossed in black on white cardstock, used my sponge daubers to add ink to he tires and truck, stamped the tire marks and added a bit of brown ink to that area and then tore the piece, adding two different patterned papers.


  • Our Daily Bread designs - Special boy stamp set, colored with ink sponging
  • BasicGrey - Periphery paper

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by, I know everyone is busy this weekend,

Connie

That style of coloring works great for this type of stamp! I love the tire tread stamp as a base for the image. Really cool!

You're the best with the boy cards, Connie! I guess when you have that many boys in the family you have to be prepared, but then you also have to know how to bring it together and you've always been so good at that! What boy wouldn't love this?
