Enough complaints and onto getting organised, mum asked for 2 cards for my nephews, her grandsons who both have birthdays in october and are both into bike road racing just like their Dad. It use to be BMX but now all 3 enter the same races and are all doing quite well apparently so mum tells me, not that I hear much from them but the info filters down eventually.
Mum asked for cards with bike racing on and initially I was going to do 2 the same but after making Joshua's card who will be 9 I decided to use a LOTV image for Dominic who will be 6 as the other image just looked too old, and I wasn't sure they would like having the same picture on their cards even if they were a couple of weeks between their birthdays, some one was bound to notice.
Joshua's card I used a cyclist image I drew and had made into a stamp a couple of years ago and coloured in black and orange, the only colours I can remember my brother racing in when I use to take him to cycle races years ago. My colour scheme even fell in with a few challenges so that was an added bonus. Have to admit I did add a large number 9 to the top right of the image after I had taken the picture and I forgot to retake it , had to check I'd got their ages right before sticking numbers on a card as its very important when you are that young.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:-
CRAFT-card for teenager (although this isn't actually for a teenager I think any teenage boy would be happy to recieve it)
Charisma-anything goes
The ribbon girl challenge-black orange and white
Simon says-sketch layout
Lollipop-it's a boy thing
My younger nephew who will be 6 , again I added peeloffs after I'd taken the picture what a dingbat am I ? Mum had said she thought he raced in red hence the red top and though they have 2 dogs I can't see either sitting on the back of there bikes as both are gernman shepherds and big enough to probably carry both a bike and child on their backs. I actually used some gift wrap ribbon as I loved the stars and thought it just tied the whole card together. Hope he likes it too. I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:-
Cupcake craft- transport
Create for fun-sketch layout
Tuesday taggers-it takes all sorts
Papertake weekly-animal magic
A spoonful of sugar-anything goes
Crafty sentiments-use your scraps(all papers from my scrap bag)
