Hi Stamping Friends!
Welcome to ColourQ Tuesday!! After two weeks of pretty pinks, Arielle threw us another one of her "curveballs". :) Anytime I see red, orange, and blue together, I think "boy". And when I think boy, I automatically grab my Extreme Elements set. So that was my starting point for this card.
Stamps: Extreme Elements, Extreme Skateboard, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Sanded Bg
Paper: Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Tangerine Tango Patterns Pack DSP
Accessories: Jumbo Eyelets, Oval die, Distressing Tool on the Cutter Kit, Word Window Punch, Squares Texture Plate, Dimensionals
Sketch Challenge: INKSPIRATIONS #57
When it comes to boy cards, I think the grungier, the better. There is no way to mess up this dirty style!! I sponged all the edges of the cardstock with Soft Suede, my go-to grunge, distressing, vintage ink. I had to keep the frills on the down-low, so I opted for metal only embellishments. No ribbon or lace on this card!! I'm thinking I should have ran my Tangerine DSP through the crimper, for added texture. Man! I can just never leave a card alone! I always think of something (after the fact!) that I should have done to make it better. Oh well! What's done is done!

Awesome card! :)
I love this card! You do such a great job with these "Extremes!"
Wow, I would never ever have thought to use these colors together. And if I had thought of it, I would have shuddered. hehehe but this looks wonderful!! I'm not a fan of tangerine, but it's a bit more muted on this card and really is great.
So cool! I love the grunge look!
Great grunge card! Love the way you used the colors.
Perfect Boy Card!
