Whimsical Wednesdays - the Diedrich Dare week 15

Hi everyone...Happy Wednesday! Another week just FLEW by! Wow...it's going fast before the holidays. This week, 7 year old Jack drew us a cool sketch to work with. I thought I'd make a masculine type card...since I have 2 boys, and since this is Jack's sketch. My sons are very much into skateboarding and "Tech Decking" right now... so this is appropriate for my family scene now. And, it's been another busy week, so it's another "quick and easy" card. (That's what I do most often...sigh....) So, here's the sketch....

And here's what I came up with. I played around with this new Stampin' Up! set I just got...called Extreme Elements, along with the Extreme skateboarder. I think I like the Ballet Blue and white card better than the Certainly Celery and Ballet Blue card at the bottom...what do you think? I played around with some Stickles too, and a star punch. So, quick and simple, but appropriate for a guy.


Make sure to visit the Whimsical Wednesdays blog for the details of a give-away, and to check out our feature Daredevil, Debbie, this week! And check out the wonderful works of the other Daredevils. Everyone is playing this week except Sandra...and we're sending lots of hugs her way. Have a great holiday week everyone!

  2. This is REALLY cool! I love the background splash stamp and I bet Ian and Brandon will LOVE this! I found this sketch to be difficult w/ the main "panel" being so small-you did an AWESOME job with it! Miss you!!! xoxo Chris should be stopping by this week-my little "elf"....let me know when you'll be around ;)
