Here is a card I made for the Sketch Challenge posted on Wednesday... I have been sooo busy getting ready for Christmas and babysitting that I don't have much time for stamping... And my DHs Birthday is New's Year Eve, so I wanted to make his card early, just in case I can't later on. And this sketch challenge worked out perfect for it...
The Base Card is Chocolate Chip. Added BoBunny Xtreme Green Grunge. Added ribbon and then I made faux barbed wire and layered this over the ribbon. The picture is of one of the tractors (Farmall) that he has been restoring. He has stopped working on it for now since he has it running, and has this HUGE tractor in the shop totally split in half... He loves this kind of stuff. Don't know when he will get back to this little Farmall, but you can bet he will... He is somewhat of a pefectionist. Anyway this is a picture I took this last summer so I printed it out and layered it on Chocolate Chip CS. Punched the corners out of the BoBunny DS and Chocolate Chip and paper pierced the edges and attached to the picture. This is on pop dots over the faux barbed wire. Added square brads and round brads, cord bow and heart charm. Stamped Wild About You with VersaMark and then embossed in Black. I had a lot of fun making this card and I know he will love it... TFL...
