One Of My Favorite Boys.

Hello everyone: I hope and pray you and your families are doing well, taking care of each other and still wearing your masks.

I've had a terrible time trying to write this post, our Internet was GONE!!! then, the power went off for about 6 hours, sheeesh!! We couldn't get any answers from neither the electric company or our internet server. Finally they sent an announcement that there were some repairs being done, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla..... Finally I'm on again, sheeesh!!

I have here a card created with one of my most favorite Boy images.

******************************************************

This is the INSIDE.

And this is what I used.

Penny Black Slapstick "Video Boy".

The doggie is fussy cut from a Stampin' Up! DSP called

"Playful Pets" 

Both sentiments front and inside are from a Power Poppy set

called "Party Time"

The fireworks inside are from The Ton "Pyrotechnics".

I used Prismacolor pencils for the young man's face and arms.

The rest is colored with "Winsor&Newton" watercolor markers.

I want to play with these challenges.

One of a Kind.....

Hello everyone: The SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge has a new one for you to play with this week, our theme is "Hey Dude" which means "MASCULINE CARDS".  I must confess I always have a bit of trouble creating cards for guys, especially teens, oh my goodness!!! It's so hard because you can't really make a card with teddy bears or little trains anymore, ask me how I know this and I will tell you that, my grandsons grew out of the cute kid's cards a while ago so, I decided to use my one and only teen boy image from Penny Black called VIDEO BOY, as a rubber stamp and here is the link for the DIGITAL IMAGE, just in case you just want to print it anytime you need to, I just adore the intense look on this kid's face, totally concentrating on whatever game his is playing, I bet he is darn good at it too!!

I stamped the image on water color paper with Stazon black in and colored with a few SU markers, his sweet face is colored with a Crayola marker that I treasure because it's the only marker that gives me the skin tone I want, I can make it darker for shading by applying a bit more where needed, I gave him a bit of blush on his cheeks with a cotton swab and a bit of red chalk.

I colored his hair with my black Prismacolor pencil adding a bit of the white pencil for the shine.

The pattern paper is from MODASCRAP and it's called "Wood Effect", which apparently is sold out at the moment so I hope they bring it back because it's beautiful.

********************************************************************

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

I really couldn't find a sentiment for a teen boy in my stash so I just added this one from a Power Poppy set called Sassy Succulents (the little sentiment on the front of the card is from the same set.)

I decided to stamp just the bag of chips, soda can and chocolate bar from the Video Boy image to decorate the inside, I colored this with Prismacolor pencils.

So, I hope you get inspired to join my teammates and me at the SHOPPING OUR STASH gallery, this challenge will help you create those masculine cards we all need at times.

For more inspiration, visit my teammates blogs, you'll be happy you did.

I would like to play with the following challenges.

Thank you for stopping by, I always read every single comment you so kindly leave on my posts, I want you to know I appreciate them more than words can express.

Until next time, happy stamping.

Hugs from Maria.
