It's October...Fall is officially here. At 613 Avenue Create we're asking for masculine cards as our twist for our Anything Goes challenge. Our grandson's birthday is this month so this is for him. It's ok for me to show it now because he doesn't follow my blog:
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.
