Urban Friend

Hi Everyone,

For my card today, I finished coloring a very handsome, sporty and hip young guy from Plate #140:

I know you guys are probably getting tired of hearing me say: “….. messed up on coloring” but once again, I did. I used a white gel pen to add highlights and got carried away (on the hair and the eyes).
Figuring I can save it with some brown pencils, which it kind of did if you don’t look too close, lo.

I also decided to use my skyline die-cut which I thought goes perfectly with this urban, hip image. And, since this is a masculine card, I was able to use some old paper scraps.
Fun, fun image! And definitely fun to color. If you haven’t had a chance to check out this or any of other wonderful stamps, you are missing out . Be sure to head over to Sweet Pea Stamps for the latest.

    It´s so difficult to make a card to a boy, but this is terrific!

    Micki, you did an awesome job on this image. I like what you did with his hair, I think it gave it more texture. This is such great card for an early teen boy. I love it.

    Too cute and I love the way it turned out. It can be so hard for me to do masculine style cards, so this card is great inspiration for me. Cheers, Holley

    I think that this is a fabulous coloring job! Those gel pens do have a tendency to want to be used for more than a few streaks here and there...I have the same problem. You covered it well. Love the layout, especially the skyline.
