The Writing on the Wall

Hi folks, I'm back again with another card for a couple of challenges...... Yep I snuck back in the craft room yesterday evening because this idea popped into my head and I had to get it out of my system!!

I'm using the colours from the Play Date Cafe and using the graffiti as the focal point for CASual Fridays challenge this week

The embossed wall is a Tim Holtz folder that's relatively new too me but the graffiti alphabet from Sizzix is one I've had for yonks, Emilies post here got me thinking about these colours in a different way to the feminine photos above and that's how the graffiti idea came about.... thanks Emilie :0)

The card base has been stamped with a scratched texture bkgd in Pumice stone Distress ink and then the wall was grunged with the same ink and some Tim Holtz stamps used around the edges. The smilie face has been cut on my circuit........ I quite like the grunged but CAS look, wasn't sure I could pull it off!!!!

Hubby is obviously not up with text speak, in fact he's not up with technology much at all!, he looked at the card last night and just read it out as you see it then two seconds later you could see the penny drop when he realised what HB stands for...... Goodness knows what he was thinking in those two seconds though!!!!
Thanks for popping by :0)
