Good Morning to you!
My eldest son will be turning 9 years old on 26th January and I really needed to start working on some invitations for his birthday celebrations. When I saw the colours over at the Play Date Cafe this week, I knew they would be perfect.
and here is my take...
I stamped the chevron image from the "Woodgrain stamp set" by Waltzingmouse in three colours onto some textured artists canvas paper - I really like the distressed woodgrain effect over the texture of the card. I then used the "Free Spirit Boy" set to stamp a light chartreuse rectangle (it's actually the back of the bike stamp from the set, stamped on the reverse side) with the skateboarder image stamped over the top in brown.
As Creative Card Challenge#18 over at Moxie Fab World is to stamp using a homemade stamp, I used a star cookie cutter to create the star images, stamping them in Desert Sand ink.
Here's a pic of the cookie cutter placed on top of the card for you to see...
As this card has a bit of a sporty/exercise vibe going on, I'm entering it into the "Less is More #102 - One Layer Card: Sports or Exercise" as well!
That's it for now....Enjoy your Sunday :)
Hugs,
Helen

So cool Helen, your little man will be thrilled by these fun invites!
Love how you used the colors Helen! I'm sure your son will love this :)
What a great boy card! Genius to use a cookie cutter too.
Not only can I borrow that idea for my own cards but I bet my preschool kids would have fun stamping with all those cookie cutters we use for playdough too. Never thought of that!
Wonderful idea Helen, with the cookie cutter! This is a great boy invite. Happy birthday to your son on the 26th that is my husbands birthday as well.....he is just a few years older. :) .
Oooh! Soo Cool Helen!! Love the Great colors and your Super Stamping too! Just Fabulous Lady! 8-)

Cool design Helen. Love the cookie cutter star! Great colors.
Actually came over to see the flutterbys below - but this card is so fabulous. The colors. That WMS woodgrain set is probably a must have. And a cookie cutter - ha!
Your skills and talents are covering a long of list of styles ( oh my is this english???) And you just added CAS to your list of skills. Love this Helen; you nailed the challenge. I hope you win; your card is gorgeous!
