Challenge Twist




My son needed a birthday card for a friend whose party was last night. I really liked the sketch from Thurs. and I decided to switch it up to make it a little more masculine. Sorry the scan is a little crooked....it always seems to be that way when I have dimensionals on the card.

The Starring You stamp set will be retiring, so if you like this set contact your demo right away!

Stamps: Starring You
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze, Old Olive and Whisper White
Ink: Riding Hood Red and Versamark
Accessories: Sewing machine, Stampin' Dimensionals, Old Olive eyelets (retired), large star punch
