One of my nephews has a birthday in about a week. He has curtains that, upon close examination, are a small skull and cross bones print. I bought a MS skull and cross bones punch months ago, that I've been waiting to use on a card for him. Now is the time!
Challenges ~
The Play Date Cafe challenge #66 color splash uses a blue violet color as an accent with black and white.
Clean & Simple Stamping: 125 challenge is a layout, or sketch challenge.
So, my card is going into these challenges. I know that this isn't the usual pretty or cute card that most paper crafters submit to a challenge, but I'm giving it a try anyway. It was a fun card for me to create and I think my nephew will like it!!!
Here is the inspiration photo from the Play Date Cafe:
And the sketch (or "fall to layout") at Clean & Simple:
And, here is my card:
Thank you for taking a look. I hope you leave a comment...I would love to know what you think!

Hey, that's a cool card! You're right: it's unusual, but I really, really like it. Thanks for 'splashing' around some purple with us this week at the Play Date Cafe!
