I fell in love with this image when I saw it. I think it's perfect for a skinny jean wearing teen, which is one way to describe our grandson. I purchased this image over a year ago, but too late for his birthday so I saved it until now.
After cutting out the image, I dusted the panel with chalk. Then I matted it onto black card stock. I embossed my DP and sanded it to pop the impression - love that look. I cut the DP and matted it onto a back panel atop my white card base. The sentiment was cut out of a pattern of various sentiments. I matted it onto black card stock also and glued it down after also dusting it with chalk.
(Edited to say that I was out of town the past 5 days. My scheduled post did not occur Sunday due, I'm sure, to some type of error on my part.)

Thanks, Ginny. I did change the image size, but that's all. I didn't crop it - that's how it's designed. I really appreciate your sweet comments.
