Bad to the Bone



I recently purchased a new SU Halloween set called "Batty for You". It has some really cute and non-scary stamps in it that can be easily stamped and punched out with a circle punch.

As I was mounting this stamp set, I wondered to myself .... how I might use this set in a non-halloween way. Well, the "Bad to the Bone" guy came to mind right away! This would be a great card for a teenage boy. And my oldest just turned 13!

So using a sketch challenge by Stampin Diva, Beate, I made this "Bad to the Bone" card. I challenge you to think about the different ways you can use your stamp sets all year long!

Technique on this card is Faux Sewing. Using a paper piercing tool I pierced holes along the top border of the gray cardstock. Then using a white gel pen, I connected the dots! And there you go...it's looks like it has been stitched!

Teenagers like to get cards too! How Are You?
