Hello!!
Today I am sharing a card one of my colleagues asked me to make for another of our colleagues, but OMG he's a man!! I have the usual cardmakers block when it comes to making cards for men but I know he has a dry sense of humour, so this Bugaboo image was just the ticket :-D
Here's what I came up with
I took it in today and she gave it to him and he really liked it - she said she was a bit worried but he saw the humour... phew!!
I used some MME papers, and ran the checked piece through my ribbler for a but of texture. I wanted to use ribbon, but that can look a bit feminine so used an olive grosgrain and looped it through a couple of holes . A button from my stash tied with a bit of floss added a bit of interest, but kept it masculine :-D
Gotta love this Bugaboo image though, check out his slippers
I added glossy accents to his glasses, for a bit of a goggly look to his eyes
Please may I enter these challenges
Make It Monday with Kraft Outlet - Tie it Up (I hope the floss through the button and the ribbon counts!)
Thats it from me today, I'm trying to create a bit more this week, in the vague hope my mojo comes back with a bit of cajoling!! Have a great weekend
