Teenage boy card

Unlike quite a few crafters I tend to like making masculine cards, but I think the hardest are for teenage lads. It's quite easy to find a fun image for a younger boy and plenty to choose from for the older man, but teenagers ....

I've used Tim Holtz idea-ology Lost and Found papers, cutting individual 2" squares and then piecing them together before stamping with the HOTP faux stitching stamp.

The added bits and pieces are from Jolees 'tech gadget' stickers and also Sandylion gym sticker.


I'm linking this card for:
