Rita has a fun versatile sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches! I decided to go with a boy themed birthday card. I love the fun images on the upcoming Fast and Furious stamp set. Perfect for little boy cards and scrapbooks! I am sure they would work for big boys too! I love this sketch and am sure it will become a go to sketch in the future!
I did a little fussy cutting with my card, added brads to the wheels and popped it up with foam tape for dimension. I could not decide if I wanted to stamp my sentiment in Lagoon or Outdoor Denim ink….so I chose both! I inked my stamp in the lighter Lagoon ink and then rolled the edges in Outdoor Denim ink. I think the end result works great with the pattern papers.
I added a birthday sentiment and a strip of pattern paper to the inside of the card to finish it off.
