Grunge It Up.

Skulls, grunge, orange and black. It's not everyone's cup of tea I'm sure! But when Alicia said she needed some more man cards I set about making some different ones (she is my best customer after all {hugs!!}). I haven't used the orange and black colour scheme before and it was fun! I think they turned out quite well :) Mum will probably hate them! I didn't want to make them too involved and full of layers (being "involved" makes me think they are a bit too girly cos I imagine different beautiful papers and flowers and colouring- and guys just don't care!) I do love this skull, its quite anatomical really, with the sockets, cavities and fissures. It must hark back to my Developmental and Comparative Anatomy days at Uni, they were my favourite subjects! The 'wishing you a one of a kind birthday' is the most boy-ish birthday sentiment I have too, so it gets a real beating. Guy stuff is really hard to come by! Let me know if you find any cool guy stamps {wishing someone would have made stamps of some of the cool drawings on the desks and walls at school! There were some truly talented kids there!.} The PP is from Fiskar's Ink range which is the same range as the stamps are from. It's really cool to have matching paper and stamps- I never usually do! I have ordered some new Stampin Up papers which will match my SU stamps too. I can't wait to use them!
Happy Hump Day of the Week! Tomorrow is "out to dinner" night with my work friends. Yippee!!
