Feeling OLD...

...well this is a special post as this card is for my son.

He has reached the grand old age of 11 !!!

going on 47...

This cool dude is a sugar nellie image called 'Luca with skateboard'.

He actually reminds me alot of my son,

although at present my son is unable to partake in sporting activities

due to breaking his thumb when he was last at football training.

And being a 'typical boy' he broke his thumb before the match

and still stayed on to play the game !!!

The black cardstock is from W H Smiths.

The design papers I have used are by papermania 'It's a Mans World'

These are a really nice mix of papers.

I have used Xcut Dielicious dies to create this lovely shape.

The blue cardstock that Luca is mounted on is Bazill Bling.

I just love the shimmer effect of this cardstock.

I used my beloved promarkers to colour him in.

Following this weeks colour sheme challenge 

set by sugar nellie on facebook.

The letters were cut out using my cricut and the 'doodletype' cartridge.

I used stickles, colour 'true blue' 

on the pale blue cardstock to add extra sparkle and depth.

The ribbons and black pearls are from my stash.

For the sentiment I used white cardstock and 'denim blue' colour promarker.

Then stamped the birthday message.

I love the black glittery numbers on this card,

perfect for a male card I think. 

They are from the Hobbyhouse, my local craft shop.
