All Boy

***Scroll down to the post below for my project and all the details on this month's i {heart} papers DT challenge***

This is kind of part 2 of my i {heart} papers design team challenge to use patterned papers. The card is based on this week’s Hip Hop sketch challenge. I went with a little boy theme, so I simplified the sketch just a little to keep it more little boy-friendly.

I stamped the dino image from Unity's Sketchy Little Boy kit on a piece of My Mind’s Eye patterned paper. After I cut out the image, I added a little shading with a coordinating Copic marker to add interest to the image. I also sparkled it up with a spritz or two of Frost Shimmer Spray—after all, who can say whether or not a dinosaur’s skin was sparkly?

I used the flip side of the paper I used for the dinosaur image for the large panel on the cardfront. A strip of teal cardstock, decorated with a green ribbon with a black edge runs across the card. I added the kit’s “all boy” sentiment on a kind of wavy, pennant-style strip just below the ribbon.
