Happy Birthday Da!

It was my Dad's birthday last friday, so I had a dreaded man's card to make!
I turned to my trusty Flippin' Men decoupage. I hardly ever use decoupage, so it was a nice change to use something different.

My da is big into golf, so I used the Golf Flippin' man - even though the character actually looks more like one of my dad's golfing friends!

Here is my card

I noticed on the Basic Grey Challenge that the current challenge is to add some embossing. I hope this counts as I actually flipped the embossed circle over to show the debossed side as I thought it looked more like a golf ball!

The Basic Grey papers I used are from the archaic paper pad.

Here's the inside with the back of the golfer:

I coloured the pint with a clear sakura stardust pen just to make it look like it's fizzing!

I hope you liked it - thanks for dropping by!

Typical Man!

This was a card I made for a friend who turned 30 last week. This fantastic Flippin' Men image (which is by far my favourite one!) suits him down to the ground!

I liked this Basic Grey paper for the background as it reminds me of wallpaper you'd see in the toilets of an old Irish pub!! Which is where you're likely to find the recipient!! You can see where I glittered the wording with Sakura clear stardust pen, I also glittered the pint for effect, although you can't really see it here.

Here's the fairly plain inside:

And here's a close up of the decoupage and shaping:
