Extreme Sports - Show us your Metal

 
Hello Friends and Stampers,
 
It's time for a New Challenge over at the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog.  This time we are asking you to show us your Metal!  I used some fun Screw Brads I had in my stash.  Metal can be brads, trinkets, etc. This week we have a very exciting sponsor!  Kenny K!!!  So you want to be sure to join us because the prize is double! 
 
I wanted to make the image on the skateboard like mindcraft, lol.   Have you seen the "Creeper" image?  Well, he is green anyway, lol.  This little guy reminds me of my youngest son.  Although he doesn't skate board, he does have those big ol' feet and huge tennis shoes. lol.  He also loves his black jeans and wears them every chance he gets with his new Assassins Creed hoodie, lol.  I love this age, too much fun. 
 
I airbrushed the background again, lol.  I do love my airbrush and sometimes I neglect using it, so then I feel like I need to use it on the next couple cards I make, lol.  If you remember, I told you that I stamp the image onto the paper, then I stamp it on to scratch paper and fussy cut out the scratch paper, then I use removable adhesive on the scratch paper and cover up the original image.   Then I airbrush the background and then take off the scratch paper image and color up the image.  It's a lot easier to do than it sounds, lol. 
 
Have you checked out the New Items in the store?  I'm so excited!!! It's almost payday!!! Yippee!!!  I hope you  have a chance to join us in this New Challenge.
