It was my Husband's birthday recently and I used Col. Macallan from KennyK Downloads to make a card for him. He's got a real soft spot for dogs so this was the perfect choice.
I kept the card plain and simple. The base is Kraft Cardstock, the birthday paper is a digi paper from Pink Petticoat that came free with a magazine in the UK recently. I printed it in Orange as that's his favourite colour and mounted it on gold cardstock.
I used a thin strip of corrugated cardboard and added some distress inks to highlight the ridges.
I coloured Col. Macallan with my Copics. I tried to give him a bit of texture like hair, but not too much as Bulldogs are fairly smooth coated. I used Copics E42, E42, E45 & E47 for his coat & E23, E25, E27 & E29 for his leatherwork & a gold gel pen for the metalwork.
I really hope you like him. Luckily my hubby did (along with the Coffee birthday cake & a couple of Freddie King CD's).
I'm sure your husband loved his card. I hope he's not as grumpy as the dog though :) Lol :)
