Three Challenges in One Card

I made this card for my nephew's 13th birthday.  This was a challenge for me because.......HELLO he's a 13 year old boy.  I know for a fact he loves skateboarding like I love card making so I decided to make him a skateboard card.  I tried my best to make a "cool" card.  In the end I think it's okay at best.  The only reason I'm posting it is that it was for 2 challenges this week so add the challenge of making a card you have 3 challenges in one card. 

The skateboard digi was a free coloring book page that I found online here.  I printed it out three times, colored it, and taped it to my white circle.  I used a grey marker to outline the skateboards. 

I used this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge for the layout and the color combo is from this week's Just Us Girls Color Challenge.

Big Red Bow Challenge

This week's challenge over at Totally Stampalicious is to use a Big Red Bow.  They also announced that they are looking for new guest designers.  How cool is that?  All you have to do to be considered for the guest design team is participate in their weekly challenges.  I just couldn't resist playing along!  Here is my card:

I've been wanting to make a card with my Stella Fireman Call Stamp and thought this was the perfect time.  I think red is Stella's color!  I am sure she loves the red bow I stuck on top of her party hat too!  Picking the color combo for this one couldn't have been easier.  What goes better with Firemen than Red, Black, & Silver?  I enlisted the help of this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge SSSC91 for the layout.

Here's a look at the inside of the card:
