Skater dude ....

Hi!  Hope your day is going well - mine's not bad at all.  I've been out shopping and done some decorating for Halloween!  The house is now adorned with pumpkins, corn and scarecrows!  I've even managed to make a card:

Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Free Spirit Boy; PTI - Skater Dude
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Not Quite Navy, Baked Brown Sugar, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding
Dies: PTI - Skater Dude Die
Accessories:  SU Card - Not Quite Navy, Baked Brown Sugar; White Lustre Card

This card is for a few challenges:

• Waltzingmouse PJ Party Bedtime Sketch - WMSPJPBS#3
• Colour Throwdown - CTD265
• The Paper Players - PP168 - make a masculine birthday card

I decided to use my all time favourite WMS set - Free Spirit Boy - to create the background.  I really like the tribal style images and the cute skater dude.  I stamped the runway onto white card, cut it out and added it to the card.  The skate board was made from a die cut and stamp - new from PTI - and perfect for my son, Ben.  Ben really likes skate boarding - not sure his knees do though!!  For the inside I cut a mat in navy and on the white card I used the negative to sponge on a few more skateboards.  Finishing with a celebratory sentiment.  I wasn't sure how the colours would work on a guy card, but actually they work really well!

I'm off out to a Stampin' Up! meeting tonight for a few hours crafting - a super way to spend the evening!  I'll post pictures soon. 

As I'm submitting this card to the Waltzingmouse PJ Party Bedtime Story sketch - I think I'll take the opportunity to remind all you WMS fans of our sketch challenge at Waltzingmouse Fanatics.  We have a fun sketch and would love to see what you make with it.

You have until Thursday 31st October, 5.00pm GMT (1.00pm EDT).  The only thing we ask is that you include at least one WMS image or sentiment.  That's all for now.
