(Please scroll down for my Quixotic Inspirations DT post!)
I love making cards for young and teenage boys so was thrilled to be making a card for this week's Take the Pixie Challenge! So we want to see boy themed creations AND add buttons or brads - easy peasy! So without further ado, here is my make...
I used Ski Dude from the new Winter release - this is definitely going to my teenage nephew for Xmas! This is such a super cool image and not too kiddy - perfect! I matched him up with this great paper from K and Company Peppermint Twist which has glittered swirls - I can just imagine him snowboarding! I ripped up some white cardstock and added some Stickles glitter glue along the edges - what boy doesn't like his bling?!! Ok, perhaps not...
Okay, enough rambling from me! The other DT creations are awesome so you really should go take a look if you have a spare few minutes here!
I am entering my card into the following challenges:
- Totally Papercrafts - holidays
- Wags 'n Whiskers - sparkle (lots of glitter glue used!)
- Craft Your Passion - your fave holiday (Xmas of course!)
Paper/cardstock: Bazzill cardstock, K and Company Peppermint Twist
Stamps: Pixie Dust Studios Ski Dude
Mediums: Copics, Stickles glitter glueAccents: Divine Twine in brown (from Quixotic Paperie here), button from stash
Tools: Cuttlebug embossing folder, Tim Holtz distressing tool, Nestabilitie label die inside card

Wow! Love the scene you've created. So cool!
Lurrrrrrve the background of embossing and snow hill!! My 3 kids are planning on going to Whistler to learn to snowboard together this winter, might have to invest in this stamp!!
