Something manly...

The challenge at Kenny K-s Krafty Girlz is NOT Something Manly. It's a actually a lovely and very workable sketch by Bev.

And wait until you see the prize:
Now that would be a lovely bit of a crafty spending!!!

I guess I felt a bit "frilled out" so my card became quite pared down and therefore utterly masculine.
I used an image called Cheers Dude and a sentiment from Little Paper Shop.
The colouring is once again Copics and the papers are from Basic Grey.

Copic colours:
Skin: E000/00/21/11/13
Hair:E49/55/49
E18/17/15/13/11
Top, hat: YG99/63/91, BG96

Challenges:
Fairy Fun Fridays (2nd week) – happy birthday
Simply Create (2nd week) - use your punches
Anything Goes - Eyelets and Brads (in corners)
Tuesday Morning Sketches - Heavy Metal
Cards For Men (2 weeks) - MASCULINE and Let's Party

Thanks for looking!!
Hugs

    Hey Annika, this is kind of weird, I was checking some of the SFTW blogs before I started to post the 2 cards I made today. It's funny because I made a man's birthday card and a card featuring a laundry basket. What's your next card going to be? I have to check tomorrow, see if we're still on the same wavelength.
