On a 3″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White card stock brayered Summer Sun ink at the bottom.
Brayered Perfect Plum ink at the top of the card stock.
Brayered Elegant Eggplant ink at the top not covering the Perfect Plum ink entirely.
Brayered Pumpkin Pie ink at the bottom of the card stock.
Used a 4.5″ card stock circle to mask the card stock.
Sponged Basic Black ink at the bottom of the card stock where it is not masked.
Used my Stamp A Ma Jig for placement and Stamped the Skateboarder with Basic Black ink.
Cut 3 panels, Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie & Elegant Eggplant. Stamped the Sanded Background Stamp on each one. The Pumpkin Pie Panel and Eggplant panels were stamped in Elegant Eggplant ink and the Summer Sun Panel was stamped in Pumpkin pie ink.
Sponged Black around the edges of the panels to smudge them up a bit.
Assembled my card front and added a couple of brads to enhance the wheels of the skateboard. Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
Be back on Monday.
Until my next post. . . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle

Hi Michelle. What awesome colors for this card. Hurry back. I already miss you!!! But have a safe and fun trip.
This card is amazing! You made me look at that section of the catty in a whole new way! Thanks for the inspiration!
OMG! LOVE this card! I have all boys and this is so inspiring to make for one of them! Thanks for sharing!
These stamps are perfect for brayering! Masculine cards are so hard for me, but seeing your card makes me want to get these stamps! Love your colors. What boy would not flip for this card? Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your talent!
Very cute! What a great card for a guy!
to quote my dearly beloved when I showed him this post “oooh…..very artsy”
Gorgeous! I have to pull out my brayer…
Michelle,
I LOVE this card.
I’ve been meaning to get these set of silhouette stamps and haven’t. Now I definitely know what I want to do with them. Plus u used colors I would NEVER put together, and made it look so good!
Thanks for this card! Beautifully done! I have an adult son who just built a half pipe so he could skate in his backyard….will he ever grow up? Oh well…..now I have to have this stamp and make him a card!
Oh I love this!
It’s good that you like your blog readers, ‘coz we like you too
Bye, Kitty
I absolutely love this. What a great idea for todays teen. A perfect card.
Wouldn’t the teens/tweens love this card?! The colors are gorgeous!
Hi Michelle~
This is a fabulous card! I love the colors and how you put everything together!
hugs,
~jeanie.
Ohhh – love the colours.
Oh, Michelle! This is fabulous! Like the other commentors before me – awesome color choices! Can’t wait to get my brayer lessons in Columbia, Missouri in a few short weeks!
This is the best card ever!!! You have amazing creativity. Thanks for sharing with us!!!
I love the vibrant nature of this card. When my nephews were both into skateboarding this would have been well received. Thanks for your instructions each time. Trouble is you make me want to buy stamps that we can’t get here! SU stamps here are way behind yours and about 50% more expensive!
Wow! This is an awesome card! Love it. The colours a gorgeous. You are so talented!

This is such a striking card and wish this image would have been out 10 years ago when my son and friends were into skateboarding BIG time! Our driveway had ramps, rails, etc. and was a meeting place for all the skateboard lovers.
Oh my gosh, this is absolutely awesome!!! Love the image and the gorgeous colors!!
I hope this message gets through. The first one didn’t! When I posted the first message I got a message from Word Type to slow down, I am posting too fast – huh????
My 17 yo son gave this a *cool* rating. He thinks this is an awesome card and would be great to give to some of his friends. I do not have this stamp on my list cause I am already over 300 but wow, now I want it bad!
I love both of your tutorials today……. Love the bright colors on the snowboarder! Looks like it will be a while until Wheaton, Ill moves up on your list, but it will be worth the wait! Please enter me to win the stamp set- my Mom paints porcelains, and I bet the would work for her- and, one of my favorite cards you did is with this set and Trees Three on blue- a snowy scene….love that card! If you ever need to stop off on your way to a workshop, we’ll leave the light on!
WOW … this is amazing. Your blog is the BEST and your tutorials are GREAT. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Wow! Love the colors on this one!
OMGOSH!! This is AWESOME and love the colors. This is one manly man card. Thanks so much for sharing your talent and inspiring MOJO with us each day.
COOL< what skateboarder would not LOVE this card!
Wow! I really like this one. I think I say that for every one you do but so far you haven’t done anything that I haven’t wanted to try. Keep up the wonderful work and TFS!
Great card for a teenager!
Take care and STAY POSITIVE!
Absolutely fabulous Michele!!! The colors just jumped right off the screen at me. Your diversity is unending. Excellent!
This is unbelievable! I love everything about it. I think it’s so amazing that you could see that stamp and come up with a card like this. That’s real creativity at work!
Oh I love that scratchy background stamp & the colours you’ve used just ZING!
Wow! That is one great card!
Love this card. I have 3 grandsons, all sport nuts!
I totally had to case this one. My boys love to skateboard. Please see my blog for the cased image. Thank you again.
