You're So Cool

Hi!  Happy Thursday! Hope you are having a good day! We are getting some rain today from the aftermath of Isaac, but it's nothing to speak of.  Just another rainy day.  I'm here to share a card I made for a few challenges I like to do.  It is for Kenny K.'s Krafty Krew Challenge #108 (anything goes), Incy Wincy Designs (for a boy), Sweet Sketch Wednesday # 169 (sketch), Cute Card Thursday #232 (stitching) and The Squirrel and The Fox Challenge #25 (one for the men).

Here is SSW-169:


Here is my card for the challenges:


I used SU Not Quite Quite Navy for my base and sketch panels and layered with patterned papers from the Authentique Loyal 6x6 pad.  I machine-stitched around the border and sketch panels.  My cool image is Teen Idol from Kenny K.  I printed him on X-Press It and colored with my Copics. Despite buying a few new markers, the Es (especially E25 and E29) are still giving me trouble, so I guess it's time to switch papers.  I highlighted the MP3 player, earphones and the grommets on his boots with a Letraset Silver Metallic marker.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is from the Stuff Happens set in Paulette's store here.  Some grosgrain ribbon and a button stitched with Baker's Twine finished my card.

Here is a close-up:


Thanks for stopping by!  It's been a busy week, but I'm planning to spend some time this afternoon visiting your blogs.  I know I've missed a lot.

Enjoy the rest of the day!

    Cool card, cool dude, and a funny sentiment. You've been busy this week with divas and dudes. They're great.

    Still no rain for us...we're just too far from the path, I suppose.

    Hi Carla:
    I have been MIA as well..getting back to school yadda yadda.. your last few cards, however, have not been missed by me. I so love your card design, (an area I am always working on) and your images. I so feel your pain regarding those E's ... I did change nibs and clean the caps as well.. paper change helped me! The Saturated Canary card with the bicycle and image merged is pure genius....looks just like the inspiration photo and so beautifully colored...and I have been purchasing Paula's sentiments.. love them! thanks for always being an inspiration! xxx Ann Marie

    Oh, great take on that sketch, Carla! Love the papers/colors you chose for your adorable image--love the coloring job, too! (And I just got my new paper from AU, so I am going to try it out. Hopefully, it will work better with the E Copics!) The stitching is a cool touch, and the sentiment goes perfectly with this image! :^)
    Hugs,

    What a fun sentiment! The papers and embellishments you've used are just perfect for a male card. It an be tricky to make a card for a teenage boy, but this one is perfect for a young man!
