Skateboarding Ninja


One of our little neighbours is five years old later on  this week and Len came to the rescue again, when I was fretting over what on earth I should do for his card. He found a great little image on line (Luke is into his scooter, does try to skateboard and also likes Ninjas) - and this is what I made:
I used:

 - 5" x 7" white card blank

 - piece of red card stock from the snippets folder, with the top edge die cut using the super-useful Memory Box 'Grand Happy Birthday' die

 - trimmed the red panel to size and glued it to the card front

 - filled in the white parts of the sentiment by die cutting more letters with the Memory Box die plus white card backed with Stick-It then inlaying them, it just gives a slightly more professional look (IMHO)

 - added the '5th' using a Memory Box 'Classic Numbers' die and Tattered Lace 'Alphabet' dies

 - glued the image panel in place to suit the vertical space I had

 - last touch was to add the name 'Luke', die cut using Tattered Lace 'Alphabet' dies

And that was it - done. Only took me about three hours, and I'm not kidding!

    I think that's great that Len got involved. He picked a cute image and you did it proud. Using Luke's favorite things will make him so happy.

    Such a cool card, Di I love how you personalized it! Len came up with a fab idea for this young man and I bet he loved it! I hear you on the 3 hrs - I'm a very slow crafter myself and I just keep fussing with everything. 3 hrs is good!

    Hello Di,

    Len is the perfect man for the job! The card is so dang cute - love the little ninja. Hmm, since I haven't made cards in who knows how long, I imagine it would have taken me days to make this, especially with the detail.

    Hope you and Len are doing fine. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can retire Friday, July 13, 2017!! My friend and I leave on a cruise the following day to New England and Canada!

    Hugs to you both.
    Kay
