Skate Wild

 


I have tried this in days gone by with my kids.  Now I enjoy watching grandchildren skateboarding - it is a great physical activity, is fun, costs little, is portable and can be done almost anywhere.  It's like surfing without getting wet!

CAS style.  The black shape is the negative of a diecut shape, with patterned paper placed underneath.  The patterned paper is kind of like graffiti.  I like shapes that go off the page.  A small sentiment is all it needed, cut to an irregular shape and popped up a bit.  Orange dots drop-outs saved from other diecuts  embellished, and give a feeling of lift I think.

Stunning - love how you use everything, from negative die cuts to die cutting drop outs!!
The 'graffiti' paper behind the silhouette figure is perfect

Gorgeous Carol, I love the movement on that image. My boys all did skateboarding until the youngest snapped his femur and spent ten weeks in the hospital. It was quite a summer :)) xx

Ooops. Yes I decided it wasn't worth the risk as I got older.

Great masculine card. Really like your choice of colours. The additon of the dots adds a sense of movement to the piece. Thank you for joining us in our Dots and/or Stripes challenge at The Male Room. Good Luck and I hope you will join us again in our next challenge. Gill, DT.

Super clean and simple card. I do like the paper you've used on the image, and the dots add movement. Sorry to be so late commenting. Thank you for joining our challenge at The Male Room, Deborah, DT.

Great design and a clever way to use the die cut.

Thanks for joining us at Addicted to CAS.
