Totally Inspired~

Sitting on my back patio yesterday, I noticed my son's coat hanging on the chair.  I was instantly inspired by the print and colors.  Off to go get my camera and shoot a shot.
Isn't this just awesome!  Black, white and turquoise (oh yes!) - dots and stripes (I'm totally falling here), an top it off with a little grunge and GKD Live Life Loud stamp set, and this is what I made: 


A one layer - perfect grungy-type card for my son!  I just love it when a card comes together like this did.  Seriously, I spend hours perusing the computer and see all the gorgeousness out there in blogland, wishing I could create such beauty.  I wouldn't say this is beautiful - I mean it is a guy card afterall - but I created it and I love it!!  My day is off to a great start..  
Thanks for stopping by~

This card is SO cool! At first I thought there were a ton of torn layers on it and I was like, How did she do that! Then I realized (after zooming in) that you masked it with the gray ink. Awesome!
