EXTREME SKATEBOARD

This is a total case of MICHELLE ZINDORF. I have 2 boys that recently got a customized skateboard from Zumies. They loved how they got to pick every detail out to match their personalities. They will ride the boards from sunrise to sunset. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed making it.

SUPPLIES:
STAMPS: extreme skateboard, canvas (retired)
PAPER: whisper white, dusty durango, crushed curry, rich razzleberry
INK: basic black, perfect plum, rich rzaaleberry, dusty durango, crushed curry
MISC: crystal effects, snail adhesive, stamp-a-ma-jig, sponges, circle cutter

I followed Michelle's tutorial almost exactly. I did use different shades of the paper and ink. I do not currently have the sanded background stamp and so I used the canvas, but I like how it came out. Also instead of the brads for the wheels, I used crystal effects. I was going for the see through color wheels that you see on some boards.

MOJO MONDAY 071309

Today I did my very first MOJO MONDAY sketch. I took the color design from a fellow SU demo that was wearing an awesome shirt. The colors on the shirt were actually barely banana, sahara sand, certainly celery, and baja breeze, (at least this is what we came up with). It had a real simple flower design, but I decided to use MERCI (retired) instead. I hope you enjoy!





















SUPPLIES:
PAPER: whisper white, old olive, crushed curry, chocolate chip
INK: craft white, soft suede, crushed curry, baja breeze (retired in-color), kiwi kiss (retired in-color)
STAMP SET: merci (retired)
MISC: versa-mark stamp pad, white embossing powder, heat gun, paper cutter, pop dots, barely banana grosgrain ribbon 5/8" (bundle special no longer available), sponges, key tag punch (retired)

1. sponge the colors onto whisper white card stock
2. stamp the image into the versa-mark pad and put on the sponged card stock
3. emboss with white embossing powder, I did not brush all the extra powder off, I wanted to add a little extra bling to it
4. stamp the image (MERCI) on a seperate piece of whisper white and used the key tag punch to punch out
5. sponged old olive around the edges
6. cut a piece of old olive and attached to a piece of crushed curry
7. attach ribbon to a piece of chocolate chip paper
8. assemble the card, I used pop dots to pop up the chocolate chip paper with the ribbon
