Arno and his skateboard from Starving Artistamps remind me of my brother. When we were young, our grandparents got us skateboards. When I think back to some of the things we tried to do, it's a wonder we're still alive and intact today.
I thought it would be a fun image to use for his Father's Day card because he is still a kid at heart and absolutely loves being a dad. I have no doubt his son will grow up to be a dare devil too.
I used Kristina's color challenge which resulted in a funky Sky Blue & Pumpkin Arno. I don't have any Copic markers, but I decided to pick up a set of colored Sharpie markers when I was at Sam's club last weekend. It's not quite the same, but I love the vibrant colors.
The textured cardstock is from Core'Dinations. I finished with the Swiss Cheese punch and small sentiment (Stamp Events) both from EK Success. The sketch is from 2 Sketches 4 You.
so cute!!!
