Better Late Than Never

Isn't it funny when something just clicks in your head.  That is what happened to me when I saw the colour challenge at Colour Throwdown and the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.  I knew what stamp set I wanted and how I wanted to do it, now these thoughts came to me a few days ago and it is only tonight right at the end of the weekend that I got to sit down and actually put them to paper.      

Here is my card, I knew these colours would go great together all mashed in together so I made the back ground with Extreme Elements, and then used Grunge Rock for the guitar and sentiment.  I purposefully stamped the Happy Birthday as two separate words and was aiming for them to look a bit more off centre and at an angle to each other, but happy with how they turned out.  If I had a teen in mind for this card I would add some die cut numbers in Cherry Cobbler or Night of Navy to the background rectangle.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Stamping
