Flying High

Morning everyone, please forgive me, but I am in major waffle mode today! It’s time for another challenge at Passion For Promarkers and this week we want to see ‘Cut Out Images’. We are being sponsored by Pink Gem Designs who are offering a fab prize of 4 digis of the winner’s choice.

As soon as I saw Pink Gem’s ‘Skateboard Andy’ I knew he would be perfect for this challenge, soaring through the air on his skateboard. However, I didn’t want him suspended in mid air against a blank background, so today is a first for me as I have created my own background! I was quite pleased with it until my husband pointed out that it’s very difficult to skateboard down a grassy slope, arghh! Now grass and clouds are about my limit, there’s no way I could attempt a tarmac road or concrete skateboard ramp! So peeps, you’ll have to use your imagination for this one, Andy is at the skateboard park, he has just skateboarded up a high ramp and is at the pinnacle of his jump with the grassy hills in the background, lol!!

I have followed this fab sketch from Here Come The Boys, I absolutely love it - all the lovely layers fill up all the spaces which is perfect for a male card as I struggle for embellishments, with this sketch you don't really need any! The perfectly matching buttons were part of some lovely Blog Candy from Kim and the fab wooden cloud was part of a challenge win from Crafty Emblies.
