Oh, those hard to design for teenage boys! My nephew has a birthday this month and I find teenage boys some of the trickiest to create handmade cards for. My advice? Keep it simple, crisp and colorful. For example, instead of the ribbon and bow suggested in today's Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO232), I opted for a strip of Basic Black card stock and a bold Tangerine Tango arrow.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
