This is a two week challenge since we're getting closer and closer to Christmas. I have so much left to do! Thank goodness for some extra time to begin doing it. In the meantime, I'm hosting this challenge and it's all about the men in our lives--no matter what the age.
This challenge couldn't have come at a better time. I have my nephew's birthday coming up in January, after all. I decided to use the Eclipse Technique for the card as well as the new and exciting stamp set free with a qualified purchase for Sale-a-bration. Yes, that's coming up in January, too. Of course the Epic Celebrations set can be used for both guys and gals, but for my over-abundance of guys in the family, it is perfect.
I used the image of the sneakers as well as the headphones. Perfect for the techie in my life and it also fit beautifully on the large numbers from the Number of Years bundle. I kept to just a few tones for my colours, using Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Bermuda Bay and a background from the wonderful Wood Textures Designer Series paper stack.
I hope you'll find time to play along and create a card for our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.
I'm also playing along with the Party Time theme over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
Heidi thanks so much for sharing your nephews birthday card. Such awesome images. I can't wait for Sale-a-bration to get here because that set will be at the top of my "I want" list. Beautiful colour scheme and layout. Awesome!
