I've made this card for another of my husband's infernal nephews - quite late, but as we knew we weren't going to see him until this weekend, I let the deadline slip by ..... emmmm .... only a month and 2 days. Bad auntie!! Here's what I did:
I'm entering this into the following challenges: Basic Grey Challenges ("Mix & Match" - I've used Wander papers and I think the buttons are Mellow), Mo's Digital Challenge ("Here Comes Summer" - the colours are quite bright and summery, I think), Paper Sundaes ("Birthdays"), and Stamp Something ("Anything Goes").
I used this excellent Mo Manning image and decided to try out colouring on kraft with prismas - quite hard not to obliterate the lines of the image - and the sansodor tends to soak in quite a bit, but I'm reasonably happy with the result overall. Here's a closer look:
Recipe:
Papers: Basic Grey "Wander"
Image: Mo Manning "Video Boy"
Colouring Medium: Prismacolor Pencils and Sansodor
Sentiment: Computer generated by me!
Other: BG Buttons, Tim Holtz crackle paint around edge of image, hairy string, needle + thread
Now I have to try and sort out a card for my "little" brother's 40th this weekend - I have no idea what to get him or what to put on his card (well, maybe a 4 and a 0!) - and he hasn't yet told us what he'd like to do for the event.
Thanks for looking - I promise to be a better blogger!!

Delighted to see the finished card. It is brilliant. I love how you cut out the stamped image. It pops off the card. The use of craft cardstock ( my favourite) is really different, original and eye catching. Lucky nephew.
