Skating By

My oldest grandson has a birthday coming up
later this week. I can’t believe he’s going to
be 9 already — where does the time go.
I saw this card on a display board last month
at convention and it made me think of him.
I don’t own this Skating By stamp set and
now it’s retiring (darn).
I decided I better share this sample with
you so you don’t miss out — it is perfect for
those boys in your life.
Believe it or not the card base is
Mint Macaron with a layer of Soft Suede.
Next is a layer of the English Garden design paper.
Didn’t know this print was in there did you?
The boy is stamped with Archival Black ink and colored
in with a Blender Pen or Aqua Painter and
ink pads — Night of Navy, Old Olive, Mint Macaron,
Blushing Bride, Cajun Craze and highlighted
with Sahara Sand.
The camera is stamped, colored, cut out
with Paper Snips and attached with a dimensional.
Two pieces of Pear Pizzazz 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon
and a 2 1/2″ Soft Suede circle were attached
and the boy layers attached with dimensionals.

What a fun card — I really wish I had that stamp set now.

Retiring items that you don’t want to miss out on.
