Happy Birthday Hubby!

Hi all

Made this card for my husbands birthday today! The fab digi image is from Stitchy Bear and is called 16 candles! Really great image to colour in, left myself open to comments like "did you get someone to sketch you?".... cheeky LOL! Cards for Men challenge this week is "Humour" and this even made my hubby chuckle first thing in the morning - which is no mean feat I can tell you!

I have followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday (I just skewed the sentiment).

Sugar Nellies Luca

Hi all

Another boys birthday card - seem to be making a few mens cards recently! Mind you, the Cards for Men challenge blog helps out with inspiration (this weeks theme is birthday) as a lot of mens/boys cards seem to be the same theme and layout - don't know why men can't like primas' LOL!

I have followed the sketch on Sugar Bowl which had to include stars on the card.



I have coloured the Sugar Nellie stamp with distress inks and watercolours.

I am also entering into the following challenges:
