Hello all!
I am uploading my twisted sister challenge cards this morning even though we normally upload on Fridays because I won't be here tomorrow and by golly.... I did this challenge, I have to upload it! LOL!
Our rules: Make 3 cards... all should be appropriate for a birthday, though they did not have to say anything sentiment wise.
1. One had to be a Masculine Card
2. One had to be a Coffee Theme (or brown)... one guess who came up with that one... think P-E_R_K!
3. One had to be a Cutesy Animal Card.
We were allowed to use One Punch, One Ribbon and One Embellishment Per Card! Nothing more.
OK.... so this was seriously the hardest challenge for me ever!!!! We were to make Three cards... ALL COULD ONLY BE ONE SINGLE LAYER! Yikes was that ever tough!!! They had to be suitable for a birthday, and One had to be a Coffee (or brown) theme, One had to be a Guy Card, and One had to be a Cutesy Animal Card. We were allowed to use One Punch, One Ribbon and One embellishment per card. Whew! I sure hope I got it right because I was determined NOT to cheat! LOL!
So... here's my Guy Card submissiion. I used a heavily lined image stamped on H2O paper and I did a watery color wash with ink and water, using a paint brush, then I went back in with markers and added detail. This reminds me of my hubby... he loves to fish and has a red canoe so I colored it like his. This too would look better on a mat but that was a no no so I was determined NOT to cheat! LOL! Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Wish I was in a canoe right now! Beautiful scene you built. I think you may have created the perfect man birthday card!
