For today's Free for All Challenge (F4A157), we are to make a silly or fun card for a man. I've always thought this quote was fun and I know it will be perfect for my brother in law. The guy loves a good beer and probably even some not so good ones. And since his birthday's coming up I'm pretty sure a big mug of beer will get his attention.
The images are from DRS Designs. My CAS card was done on half of a note card. I liked the texture of the paper so I stamped the beer mug, drew a diamond shape around it & filled in w/ a black sharpie and added doodles. I saw this technique on the latest Technique Junkie newsletter, so I gave it try. I added the sentiment, little beer mug & a couple of Candi buttons, then doodles around the edges before attaching to my 5.50 x 4.25 card.
Thanks so much for looking! It's also on my blog: The Write Stuff

Love this- I've wanted to do this one for quite some time but never could find a good beer mug! That quote is so funny and for some guys- so true! Great card!
