getting long in the tooth

One of the guys at work has a birthday this week. It's my contribution to the kitty to make a card. I love it. This time it's for a guy that is actually older than me!!! I couldn't believe it either, lol.
He is the joker on the team and I know he'll appreciate this.


The image is from Bonibleaux Designs and the sketch followed is that of DudeTime Doodles challenge this week.
Hopefully here you can see the heavy use of glossy accents and silver gel pen for the chrome. The image was coloured with promarkers with a chalked background with just a couple of stamped trees to give dimension. This was layered onto red miri to match the bike.

There is an embossed panel in russet red.
The BP is from a RAK some time last year.
The teeth are left over from halloween last year and just seemed to fit. They were threaded on with waxed cord and knotted. The sentiment is computer generated by me. Ink distressed and backed on red miri to match. The whole thing on yet more red miri then a white leather effect CS base.

Valentine for My Dude?

It's my wedding anniversary next week. 3 years. Second time around, for me. The challenge over at Dude Time Doodles meant I could kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. Make him a card and follow their sketch. It wouldn't be me to make him a mushy card. He'd think something was wrong with me. This image from Bonibleaux Designs fits the bill to a tee. He supports Hearts Football Club here in Scotland and their colours are maroon and silver grey. If the light here were better you'd see this was made in those colours. I hate this time of year for the light. Hopefully when the birthday fairy comes visiting, I might get a lamp that mimics daylight. I can dream can't I? Ooops off subject!! But you get the idea, hopefully.

The papers are from the mans range from Papermania from last year in the maroon and some silver grey plain paper from stash. Layered onto some maroon then onto some matt silver CS for a base. The heart shaped brads were green. I sanded that colour off to leave the silver base colour showing through.
The image was coloured with promarkers with a touch of DI round the edges.

A Dude Card

A freebie digi!! Don't we all just love freebies? This one is from Bonibleaux Designs over on CDAC.
The sketchy over at Dude Time Doodles for Jan is followed here.
Very simple and quick to put together, and I just love that idea.


The ticket is a freebie as well from over on Sentiments 4 You. The bottom sentiment is computer generated by me. The image is coloured with promarkers. The BP is from a Dovecraft collection. The raffia and brads were from Crafty Feeling.
Everything was matted onto dark blue then onto a white DL card base.
The light is not the best I'm afraid. Not being at home during the day and the time of year are all conspiring against me.

This also fits right in with the challenge over at Stamping with the Dragon being sponsered by Bonibleaux Designs so am entering it in there.
