SWEEET!!

I asked my 12 year old son what the latest phrases going round school were.  "What do you mean?" he said.  "Well how do you great each other?"  I asked.  "Hello"  he answered looking at me a bit weird.  "How do you ask after each other?" I asked.  "How are you?" he replied giving me an even stranger look.  I tried one more time "What would you say at someone's birthday?".  He answered "Happy Birthday!"   So I gave up!  Didn't realise I had such a polite boy!

So I thought I'd go with the usual phrases - Cool, Hey Dude, Whatever as I wanted to try making a Graffiti wall.  Another attempt  at teenage boy cards.  Then I remembered something my step son says a lot - Sweet.  Depending on the amount of ee's depends on how sweet something is or "good" in old money!  Hence I've added an e to my word.  

I punched out the letters using Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Sizzlits in different scraps of card - Real Red, Pacific Point and Pumpkin Pie.  My word was attached to Basic Black card stock. Then I cut around the word Graffiti style.  

The card base is Crumb Cake.  I used scrap paper and sponged lines to create a brick effect using Soft Suede.  I also spritzed Chocolate Chip over the card front to look like speckles in the brick.  

After attaching "Sweeet" I added a couple of extra spritzs in Basic Black to look like the Graffiti artist spray can. 

Birthday Wishes is from Happiest Birthday Wishes coloured in using my Stampin Write Marker and punched out with the Modern Label Punch.  I thought it would look a bit like a street sign. 

My step son is 22 at the end of March so I'm pleased I've got this ready well in advance! 

The Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Sizzlits Die (which includes numbers too) is £65.95.  Buy this before end of march and you will receive a Sale-a-bration set free.  

As I've used Dies I'm going to add this card to the LESS IS MORE challenge which has a theme week of Dies or Punches. 

Thanks as always for coming past I really enjoy your visit. x
