I do not know why but I really struggled with the theme this month - I think really I just had too many stamps to pick from and too many ideas going around in my head so in the end I just decided to go with whatever ended up on my piece of gelli card!
I forgot to take pictures this month as I was going along but basically I did a gelli print with the brick wall stencil. ( paper artsy chalk paints) I wanted it to say boys will be boys but I wanted something that the boys could be hanging from or sitting on and in the end I used the random shapes that are on a new design club stencil and some grunge paste. I stamped into it whilst wet with BOY from the word chain set no 10 and an S from the same set. - Put your stamp into water straight away though! I used the new wordpress letters for the other words.
I masked off the birds and strings from the boy and birds stamp and hung him off the edge the jumping boy is from the wheelie men and boys stencil and the other boys are from the wee folk set
I coloured in the stamping in the grunge paste with a brown spectrum aqua pen

I think this is fabulous Linda....the wall is really great and the boys you have chosen are perfect....would never think that you had struggled, you are so clever and talented....I do know what you mean about too many stamps though lol
Huge hugs xxxx
Linda, I think it was just one of those months, for no particular reason. Maybe that bit of sunshine just muddled us all. I love you card, boys have to run of that energy, great design and I know several it would be perfect for. Huhs.
Linda this is lovey, I know what you mean, sometimes you have so many ideas going round that you just go with what ever happens, well "what ever happened" here is fab x
ha ha thanks Emma you are so very kind - and the club sale is on ....I had a cursory look and thought no I don't need anything BUT I now have a list lol
aw thanks Naomi I don't know about sunshine ---maybe its the lack of it here - its tipping it down again as I type xxx
Thank you Jac and thanks for all your lovely comments you have made on this and other posts x
Your beautifully stencilled background so befits the 'action boys,' Linda. You have chosen a brilliant stamp, stencil and colour combo. ;~}
Thanks Shelagh xx
Great art work Linda, I love how've you got movement going on through the boy images, and the way you've impressed the lettering into the grunge paste. xx
Thanks Angela xx

You cracked it Linda - another fab card from you......it was a more challenging subject this month, but your card fits the brief perfectly......maybe Clarity should bring out a "scuffed knee" for us to add to our stamps lol
I'm so tempted to look at the sale, but I'm at the open day on the 12th, so I was going to wait and browse all the goodies then. Will you be there? xxx
This is a great card Linda. I love the colours of the gelli print. I haven't tried stamping into grunge paste yet; it looks fab here, so will have to give this technique a go. Xxx
