It's also a special Friday for me as I'm back with the Crafty Catz Design Team for my first challenge for a few months! They were kind enough to let me have a little break as we had such a busy summer ahead of us, but now things are starting to settle down again, I was keen to get back to what must be the friendliest DT in Blogland! And our first challenge after the summer is - 'One for the boys'! We are sponsored by the fabulous Bugaboo and I've used the fantastic 'Gus' for my card...
I've coloured the image with copics and promarkers and added some glossy accents to his specs but sadly I can never seem to get this to show up on my photos!
The backing papers are from HunkyDory with some added seam binding ribbon and brads from stash.
I always think Gus makes a great card for so many men!
So do pop over to the CraftyCatz challenge - have a look at the fabulous inspiration from the brilliant DT and then join us with your cards and creations for the male of the species!
Back soon,
Kim x

ReplyDeleteLOL, Kim, this is exactly how I feel, a new class (1st grade, 6 and 7 year old kids, first time at school) can make you feel really tired after this first week. Phew. Anyway, your card is really funny, I love Gus and his sayings, and your coloring of him is perfect. Have a nice weekend!
