613 Avenue Create Ch #21 - Anything Goes

Good Morning everyone and a happy Sunday to one and all!  

It's a fresh challenge over at 613 Avenue Create and, for this week's challenge, the theme is 

ANYTHING GOES!!!

Our sponsor this week is the fabulous Meljen's Designs and I chose to use this fab image called

 'Just Like Dad'

I thought this image was perfect to make a card for my little boy, George, to give to his Dad on Father's Day!  I don't usually make that many CAS cards, but have made two within the last week!  George's Daddy is absolutely NOT a fussy/fancy kinda guy and I just know he's gonna love the simplicity of this one :)  The only embellishments are the little bling gems I added onto my doodly sides and a few little ones around the image!

I thought I'd share my tongue in cheek little poem I made up for the inside of the card lol.  It's for a little bit of fun ..... and a whole lot of love at the end of it.

Click on the image if you need a closer look :)

I coloured this fab little man in Copics in the following:

Skin:  E000, 00, 21, R11   Hat/Jacket/Trousers:  W1, 3, 5, 7

Blue Tones: B000, 12, 93, 95, 97   Green Tones:  BG10, 13, 15, 49

Hey there lovely ladies! Sorry I haven't been on here sooner .......... proper slacking this week!! Not sure if it's the rivers of rain we've been having or being overloaded at work but my crafty side has certainly taken a back seat and tiredness won!! :( Today, though, I woke with a crafty boiiiiiing in my step and here's my little make ........

It's a little different than my usual makes, however, I needed to create a birthday card from my little boy, George, for his Daddy and what better image than this little cutie from Meljen's Designs called 'Fuzzer the Monster'.   George is the image of his Daddy (apart from George has hair! Hee, hee!), so I copied 'Daddy Fuzzer' and reduced in size to make 'Georgie Fuzzer' :) 

To be totally honest, I try and stay away from male cards as much as I possibly can as I find them so tricky and staying clear of flowers, lace and glitter is trickier still!!!  Also, as much as I love real furry friends, I do shy away from colouring them as they never seem to be very furry looking once I've done my bit .........  So, all in all, this was a bit whole lot of a challenge for me but I think Daddy will like it all the same :)

The papers I have used are by Dovecraft called Masculine (very apt) and I've had them years!! I do find them ideal for male cards though so I'm so glad I kept hold of them :)  I have coloured the fur on Fuzzer with Copics this time - I only have a limited number of them at the moment and am just getting the feel of them, but I think they may well be on my Christmas list this year! Ssssshhhhh ....... I couldn't help myself and had to add a bit of glitter to the eyes!  Ah well, I think Daddy's pretty used to finding glitter here, there and everywhere at home so a little bit on his card's not gonna hurt is it!!!

I typed up and printed the greeting from my PC and added a little Brilliance Pearlescent Beige ink around the edges.  I dotted some card candy around and added a brad from the same Dovecraft range as the papers.  Daddy will be SUPER pleased that NO flowers were added :)

Anyhow, I've waffled on long enough and need to get my thinking cap on for my next card ...... this time for Daddy from Mummy! Oh dear ........

Wishing you all a fab weekend!  Thanks for popping by today ...... Happy Crafting :)

Big hugs
