Something for the boys

For me it's much harder to make a boy/man card than a girly one. SO I decided to work on it. Especially for bigger boys - my 7-yo DS doesn't want to gift his friends with "baby-ish" cards - so that means no puppies, Edwins, teddy bears or other cute/sweet images... So when I found this cool stamp set from Kraftin Kimmie called - Smells like teen spirit I rejoiced ;)
and here is the first card I made with it:

the background is made by melting piles of colored embossing powder and then pressing a stamp into the soft EP - inspired by this card by Jessica Witty. I still have a serious lack of simple stamps suitable for boyish cards, so I just used the spots. Just a little reminder - if you want to try this technique - DO NOT try to melt the embossing powder by pointing the heat gun on it from the top. Lift your CS and heat it from the bottom ;)
and a detail of the melted EP part:
