Chocolate, Coffee & Cards – For the Boys!

Hello, how are things? Good I hope!

So today over at Chocolate, Coffee and Cards  our new challenge is For the Boys! So masculine cards if you please! But do remember that we are a CARD ONLY challenge!

This time we are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps
Who are offering is a fab prize to the winner so check out the blog!

Now it was my dad’s 80th birthday at the beginning of the month and he likes cards with humour! So of course I turned to Gus!
He is such a fantastic character and I love the expression on his face! 

Ingredients:
Image & Sentiment: Gus – Birthday Recount
Dies: Sizzix ‘Star Framelits’ – Joanna Sheen Signature Dies ‘Starburst’ – Tonic ‘Dad’ – Tattered Lace ‘Happy Birthday’
Punches: WRMK ‘Corner Chomper Stub’
Paper/Card: Neenah Desert Storm – LOTV ‘Petal Fresh’
Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir markers & pencils – Stormy Sky DI
Others:  Gems – Papermania Chalkboard Speech Bubbles - Chipboard numbers coloured with markers and covered with a glitter spray

So ‘man up’ and swagger over to see what my clever teamies have done for this challenge and play along!

Thanks so much for looking and have a good day!
See ya!

Colourful hugs
Jane xx
