Good morning, how are you this morning? Hope I find you well and not too chilled with this Arctic blast we've had the last couple of days. They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, well we can only hope! Anyway it's time for a brand new challenge at Cardz4Guyz and for this fortnight I chose the theme of :-
MAKE US SMILE
They say laughter is the best medicine but surely it's great to laugh on your birthday too.
Here's my inspiration using another Ai stamp set.
I made this for my bestie's partner, I hope he enjoyed it!
After stamping the recliner king, I fussy cut him and put him to the side whilst I looked for some backing paper.
I found a sentiment background in my bits box that I made using some STAMPlorations sentiments awhile ago, check out how I made it here. For this card I did tone down the orange background by adding some Vintage Photo DI over the top.
I was going to add a spring mechanism to the back of the recliner king to make him wobble but he was a bit too heavy for my card springs and he fell away from the background when the card was stood up, so didn't use them in the end, just added him on foam pads. The sentiment from the same set, was stamped and added on pads also and the panel double mounted onto a square kraft base card.
So what will you do to make us smile? As ever the DT have lots of ideas to help you here. We'd love to see what tickles you!
Hilarious!! What a fun card and your coloring of it is fantastic!! Yep, your card made me chuckle and I am sure you will be an inspiration to those who decide to play along with our new "make us laugh" challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz!! #C4G317
ReplyDeleteLOL...that card certainly tickled me Julie. I was going to start with... that's one of Martin's favourite sayings (meaning the lion and lamb) but thought better of it when I read the message on your card!!
