LET' GO FOR A RIDE

Happy Friday everyone. I am soooo glad that this work week has come to an end. I feel like I have worked way more than forty hours. Don't get me wrong, I really do love my job. It has so much variety and challenges. But, when my personal life gets as busy at it has been. I start wishing for some time to relax, like now. I have been off work since 1 pm. I had a few errands to run  and then came home and made a late lunch. Now that I have eaten, I can get my card posted. This morning was a rush, I hit the snooze on the alarm way to many times and then I was rushing to get to work by 7 am. This is so unlike me.

But, on to the reason that I am here. This being Friday, it is time for another challenge over at Tellen's Place and this week we want to see a card for the MALE of our species. I don't have to make many cards for the males around me. My son is so easy to please and he is the only one in my immediate family that I send cards to. I have a daughter and 4 granddaughters and they all are girly and loves lots of ribbons and bows and bling. So when I have to change my pace and not use the bling bling, I have a hard time. And it takes me twice as long to get a project finished. But, I finally did finish and here it is.

In stead of making a card that I won't necessarily use, I decided to put this in an art journal. I have made so many cards in the last year and given so many away. But, I still have enough to get me through the year. So unless I get a request for something special or specific, I will be putting my designs in this journal. The image is Edward and he loves his skateboard. I thought he needed a neighborhood to ride around in. Edward is colored with copics E11, E13, B00, B01, B02, B02, B06, E40, E41, W3 on the skateboard and then I went over it with a silver gel pen. the movement lines was made with a white gel pen and the silver. The sentiment was done on my computer. The paper is a piece that I had left over from another project and I think I got it at Hobby Lobby. It had different designs on both sides. I liked the houses and the trees and that was why I bought it. I am going to have to try and find a couple of more sheets someplace. The dark blue paper was embossed with the Tim Holtz checkerboard embossing folder. That is it for the card details and yest there will be some challenges.
