Ralph Fishing

Well it's that time of year when I she my dad's and my father in law's birthdays within a few days of each other, so I find myself thinking about men's card and looking for inspiration.

Luckily for me I saw this fabulous digi from Dig Stamp Boutique which I bought, printed and coloured all on the same day (unheard of for me - lol!)

The thin I like about this image is that it's quirky but not too cute so it fits perfectly for men, and still gives me my colouring happiness buzz!

For this card i used a 7 x 7 inch base card. I saw a pack of these a month or so ago, and bought them immediately, as you don't see them too often, ad I have to say, the size is just fab. You can get a decent size image on there and still have room to show off your papers, embellies or whatever as well.

I this case I grabbed the pro markers for the colouring and the papers are from a selection of NitWits sets. I thought the half circle print kind of looked like a fish head (but maybe that's just my over active imagination……).

I have used distress ink to dull the edges of the white card and used a bit of wink of stella sparkle on the fish for a little bit of a glimmer.

Finally, the lovely sentiment also came with the digital image…….makes a lovely change from the usual 'Happy Birthday'.

So here are the lovely challenges that I would like to enter today:
