For A Teenager

 

Hello, how are you? Thanks for your visit, checking the stats, more visits than comments, which is nice to know.  Well, schools are back here in England, I am so pleased things are improving and there are more normal events beginning to happen.  Today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz, Julie has chosen #266 For a Teenager.  Please visit the blog for details and to see some amazing creations for teenage boys, cdreated by the fabulous design team. 

For my card, I don't use die cuts a lot, I prefer stamps but when I saw this on craft TV a while back, having so many teenage grandsons, I had to have it.  The word stamps and the teenage boy die cut  are from Creative - For Men series. I built up the boy by die cutting several times for the hoodie, the shoes and the backpack. The grunge stamps are by Crafter's Companion - Just 4 Men series. The background was created using a brick wall stencil and  blended D.I. Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. Added to a black mat on a white card. Have fun, please continue to stay safe and happy crafting.
