Skater Ben Sneak Preview - Whiff of Joy

Hi there everyone and hope that you're all having a wonderful weekend. I've managed to squeeze in a bit of crafting time today and made another card using the gorgeous new stamps that will be available as of tomorrow (1st February)


This time I decided to use the adorable Skater Ben and I've coloured him using my ProMarker and AquaMarker pens.


The DP is a mixture of Whiff of Joy and Tim Holtz and I've inked the edges using Brushed Corduroy.

The brown tag that I used is also part of the designer papers from Whiff of Joy and all I've done is made up a key using my quickutz die and then tied it to the tag.



I've also used my slice machine to cut out the stars and the letters to make up SK8R. I've used Brushed Corduroy to stain the white cardstock and then in the centre of each letter I've used liquid pearls.

Challenges I'm entering this card into are:-


I hope that you enjoy the rest of your evening.
