Cheers!!!

Hi peeps

Tis me again... yikes I'm getting to be turning them out fast!!  Not like I used to be... one every week or two..  but I'm enjoying myself and sharing my passion only adds to the enjoyment... I think that's what we all feel in blogland... yes?

This one is for the new challenge at Anything Goes..  'Very Manly' the theme is.... so very manly I gave them!! LOL!

Card Recipe:
  • Image - Digi Stamp Boutique - Alf with Beer
  • Papers - believe it or not, some I've had in my stash for 10 years - I bought them on my first trip to the States!
  • Colouring - Copics
  • Doodling and sentiment - yours truly
  • Glossy Accents for beer glass


I've given you a sideways view here too so you can see that besides being paper pieced, he's also decoupaged too..  at least his big head and his pint are!!  And THEN.......  after putting it all together, I was kinda stuck for a sentiment and felt, even though I'm trying to be all minimalistic and let the image do the talking... it needed something!!  You should have seen how my hand shook as I wrote the word 'cheers'... I could have ruined the card with a mis-spelling or something....  NOTE TO SELF...  Write sentiment BEFORE doing image etc!

Hope you're all having a good week so far...  I'm catching up with a few friends this week... so plenty of coffee and chat!

Big hugs and Happy Crafting

    Hello Christine,
    Great man card. Love how you have decoupaged and yes you were so brave writing the sentiment last!!!! It all looks super.
    p.s. i know you're a whizz. My picture hasn't appeared on the challenge post although it is on the craft den team one and when you click my name it takes you to my post, but my project just doesn't appear with the others. Do you think you can help please.
    Thanks in hopes

    Christine, how are you, worried about you, 2 male cards in a short space of time, no wonder your hand was shaking, love the card, great image and fab paper piecing. If you have to do another male card, put him a pink shirt on and then you will feel better.

    Hi Christine, wonderful card. Love the 3 d effect and I thought that the "cheers" sentiment was a stamp! Great work..
