So, I decided to just use a background stamp behind the main image and go with it that way. I not only attempted the brayer - bit, but also was going to emboss the image. But alas, no black embossing powder! So I tried to use the Versa Mark, black ink, and clear embossing powder - but it just didn't look like I wanted it to. (If you're getting the feeling this card was trying my patience, you're right!!!) I'm not sure where this sentiment came from but it was great for the card as it'll be a birthday card for a 15 year old boy. Oh, and by the way......that sentiment is NOT done on pink paper! It just looks that way....every time I'd take a photo of this, all was looking good except it looking like the sentiment was on pink paper! As I said, this whole card tried my patience something terrible!!! LOL! The red background was done using the Square Lattice die from SU and this wonderful sketch came from The Sweet Stop. I'll be entering this card for their challenge this week.
Thanks for stopping by.............

Love your card- Oh Lynn, come up here and I will brayer with you! Or, better yet, go to one of her classes- you will be so amazed at the cards you create in her class! I love that stamp- the card layout is great too!
Wow, this is another striking card. The image looks great with these strong colours. I intended to use this sketch for ooh la la, but it just wasn't working for me, but you've made it look fab. xxx
ROCK ON!! I love this card! The colors are great, the embossing is fab, and the image looks amazing! Great card Lynn!
Trying your patience or not, I LOVE this card! Great way to use the sketch, too. Perfect for a teen boy's birthday. I have a couple of those coming up this summer myself. Have to get 'rocking' on cards for them. I may have to CASE this one!
Hi Lynn,
Sorry that you had to go through so much with the brayering bit. Anyhow this card is perfect for a 15 year old. The sentiment and colour scheme rock for sure and so do YOU!
