Two in one Challenge
Howdy!
I haven’t played with a Mojo Monday challenge for ages and when I first saw the layout I was definitely not going to tackle it because I soooo do not do angles! Random patterns and angles are a big challenge for me personally so this is right out there for me but that is what challenges are all about. I put it out of my mind and then I came across Keesh’s Inkspiration Colour Challenge and all of a sudden I had an Oprah lightbulb moment! I remembered my skater dude and thought it was a great sketch for him and the colours were perfect!
So enough rambling, here is the Mojo Monday sketch:
and here is Keesh’s colour challenge:
and here is my card:
Stamp sets: Extreme Skateboard (USA), In the Stars (retired), Occasional Greetings.
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White
Inks: Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant
Accessories: Big Shot Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder, jumbo brads, Choc Chip ribbon,
Technique: Masking
Ok, before you get all excited – he’s not available here. Please cross your fingers and your toes that he and his mates, Extreme Guitar, Extreme Elements etc, arrive in our new catalogue as he is a much needed addition for our tween/boys stamps.
I hope you likey. Have a great day!

This is WAY cool, Lou! I so have my fingers crossed that we get the Extreme stamps in our new catalogue. I know what you mean about ‘angles’ on cards. This looks fantastic, though – and I’m loving the stars!
