Happy Birthday Ole' Pal Card...

Hi there...I'm back!  It's been 2 weeks and nope, I didn't go on vacation!  It's just the usual things in life that piled up on me.  But there's no stopping me from posting this Card I made for a friend that celebrated his birthday recently.  Well, he's not exactly that old but since he would not reveal his age, I decided to make a humorous card.  Here, I used Gus, one of the funny characters from Bugaboo Stamps.  Colored him with my ProMarker and Prismacolor markers.  This was both a rush project and for a male so, the pressure was on on how the lay-out was going to be.  So, I decided to go for Embossing and inking.  I love ribbons, glitters, flowers and such pretty nice things but for a male card, not ideal so, I have to keep it as simple as I can but with a character.  I used the folders from Cuttlebug (polkadots) and Paper Studio (leaves/vine).  I also added a border and the scallop punched from EK Success. The sentiment is from Changeables and I inked the card all over with Walnut Stain from Tim Holtz.  So, what do you think fellas? This Card is entered into the following Challenges:

1.   Sassy Cheryl's featuring "All About the Boys"
2.   Inspire Me Fridays featuring "Anything Goes" 
3.   Jackson's Digital Images featuring"Anything Goes"

Okay folks, this is all I have for now but will have another project to share in a day or two.  I'm quite tired today and in need of much rest.  Thanking Jesus for giving me the strength to function properly though.  Still have to prepare some things for Worship at Church tomorrow.  So, have a blessed weekend and would love to hear from y'all!
