I'm trying to make time among my DT work and other commitments to get back to entering more challenges and this week, I've outdone myself. This card is for more challenges than I have ever entered before with one card - whew! It's more by good luck than good management, it has to be said - I just happened to make a card that fits several current challenges this week!
So, here's my dude:

'Christian Summer Digi'
Papers: October Afternoon and Cosmo Cricket
I recently stumbled across Simply Betty's quirky digi stamps and I really like them. They're great images for teens and tweens (you know, those between about 9 and 13!) - Emo and Vampire are particularly useful! There are also some brilliant Victorian digis, with a twist! You should check out her
store if you're looking for something a bit different to try.
I recently purchased this surfer dude and wanted to give him a go! Bright summery colours were in order, with some 'blue for a boy' thrown in! I coloured him up with my Copics, which I also used to give the impression of sand beneath his feet by applying in small dots in three different sandy shades. Then I added the blue sky with my Prismas and he was good to go. He was matted and layered on to embossed Bazzill cardstock, which I also used as a 'belly band' across the card.
So, I guess I'd better list the challenges then - here goes:
One Stop Craft Challenge -
Summer Fun
Secret Crafter Saturday -
It's a man's world
Our Creative Corner -
Embossing
Unscripted Sketches -
Sketch #67
Stamptacular Challenge -
Just for boys
Little Red Wagon -
Summer
Simon Says Stamp -
Summertime blues
Wow! What a list - thank goodness for summertime challenges, eh? I'd better get linking!
Happy crafting.
