This is for two challenges. First for the tea party challenge which you can read about here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I have very few "boy stuff" images! I guess I'll have to come in the back door today as this as as "boyish" as it gets! There are no sports represented by this card, but the lizard is definitely a boy thing! I'm not used to "cheating" on challenges (don't confuse me with Anne R who readily admits that she cheats :-)! However, I couldn't pass up making a card for little Mark who is suffering from cancer. You can read about him here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
The other challenge is the color challenge to use red, denim blue and green. I haven't ordered any of the new SU colors yet, so I improvised!
Thanks for looking!

Laughing at the idea of Sam the Ham putting the lizard in a baggie, I'd be worried it might suffocate. I love those leaves - they look like a good place for the lizard to hide. It's a great boy card, and I know for sure you're not the only one with not many boy and sports stamps. Me for two, only luckily I'd kept a few images when I passed on a stamp I used for my nephew when he was younger.

So cool to see this. I never imagined there could be an image like this, but it's something you see alot of the guys do! Not me, but I know Mark will think it's cool. Love your colours and your kindness for sending this to him. TFS hugs to you Anne.

Your card is so cute and the coloring is fab. Eeeeek, a lizard on him, makes me do a little shivering in my chair. Yep, that is definitely a boy thing.

Anne, don't do it!! Don't become a cheater like Anne Ryan. It's not too late to stop your evil ways!! LOL!! I LOVE your adorable boy image and it is colored to perfection. I'm also in love with your corner leaves, but you can keep the lizard for yourself. Better yet, send it to Anne Ryan. I hear she loves lizards!!
Thanks SO MUCH for joining us in The Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week and I hope you can tune in and play again next week!
Hugs

Great boy card - I personally think playing with a lizard this size counts as a sport (not sure if it is a sport for the lizard or the boy...). Perfect card for the challenge and for Mark.
