This is for this week's Featured Stamper Sharon (smadson). She has a lot of fun different looks. I was drawn to her mixed media BGs, especially. This one looked enticing to me: ATC for Elizabeth sm by smadson at Splitcoaststampers
I recently discovered that Hobby Lobby started carrying Tim Holtz's Distress Micro Glaze. I was excited b/c I had seen him on YouTube last year using it with DOs. I thought I remembered how to do it. So, I tried smooshing DOs on watercolor paper and then applied the glaze. It didn't do much. So, I went back to his video and realized he used glossy CS. I didn't have any of his, but tried it with SU's glossy white. I think it worked out ok. It was pretty warped but seemed to lay down pretty good with a lot of Scor Tape.
So, I used a funky BG like Sharon, used a number on it, and silver and black accents. The rest is different, although my layout has similarities to her's.
Also adding this to the Free For All Challenge - these are some of my favorite colors together.
This card is for Dena Rekow's son Carl who will be turning 13 this week. He requested for his birthday cards from the "ladies," meaning all of us who watch her on FB live. Thought that was a pretty awesome request.

My goodness, this is a fabulous card for a teenager (which I find incredibly hard to make). Your wonderful bg sets a perfect stage for these beautifully colored tennis shoes, the birth year numbers and your fun sentiment! ~Karen.
