For Bob ~ Retro Sketches 138

I made this card for my great nephew, Bob, who turns 4 today!  I wanted to make something quick and easy and also something that would please a little boy.  I found this sketch over at Retro Sketches this week.....

I started out with some retired birthday paper that I had in my stash and pulled the colors from there.  I thought they were very boyish.  Then I turned to my go-to little boy stamp set, I Dig You.  

I added buttons and circles for embellishments, highlighting the number four.

I'm sure he'll enjoy his card....well just about as much as a four year old can, I guess!

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: I Dig You, Flamingo Lingo

Paper: Just Add Cake DSP, Marina Mist, White, Garden Green

Ink: Marina Mist, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Garden Green

Accessories: Brights buttons, Circle punches, Large silver brads, Itty Bitty Banners die, bakers twine

Thanks for taking a peek!

One More for DD's Anniversary

Here's one more card for the Dynamic Duos one year anniversary challenge.  I used combo #49 of Basic Gray and Basic Black. 

 

I made this for my son Zach who just recently turned 15.  My husband owns an excavating business and Zach is his right hand man when it come to digging in the dirt.  The minute this set came out in the SU catalog (which was a few years ago) I knew I had to own it!  It was a perfect match for the guys in my family and I have used it many a time for special things for all of them.  The color scheme is fairly simple, so I tried to add special accents to jazz it up.  I fussy cut the bucket and main part of the excavator and popped them up on dimsionals.  Then I added silver brads....lots and lots of them.  The bigger ones are from a set I recently purchased from the clearance rack.  A mix of gray patterned papers, a birthday banner and button, and some manly dry embossing completes this card.
