phew finished just in time.xx

good evening all, yeah yippee have finally finished my fathers days cards with still a day to spare.makes a change for me.lol.so this 1st card is for me to give my hubby and bless him but this image really does say it all.he does work really long hours and this is a typical night once hes been fed.lol.

products used are corrugated card.basic grey kraft paper.buttons from stash.papermania image coloured with promarkers.simples..

promarkers used are
skin=ivory,blush,dusky pink,soft peach.
hair=cinnamon,cocoa,walnut.
chair=cocoa,chestnut,henna,walnut.
jeans=pastel blue,cornflower,china blue,midnight blue.

and a sideways view.

now onto my little mans card for daddy, now i have to tell you that this card is a little tongue in cheek because in the 21 years me and my hubby have been together, i have never, not once!!!! heard my husband sing or even hum along to a song.he says he is that bad and i can`t even vouch for that.even when you have to sing hymns at weddings etc i try really hard to catch him but he just lip sings.lol

so products used are musical paper which was navy but i sponged it all over with distress ink in black soot.string.skull charm from stash.alphabet stamps.tim holtz hanging sign but i have used the original sign as a template to draw around to get the bigger sign to place my sugar nellie image on.image coloured with promarkers.distress ink pumice stone used on the sign and distress paint in rock candy.

promarkers used are
skin=ivory,blush,dusky pink,soft peach.
hair=cinnamon,cocoa,henna,walnut.
jeans=cool grey 2,3,4,5.
tshirt,glasses,guitar=red,poppy,cardinal,burgandy,pastel beige,khaki.
gloss accents on his glasses and guitar.

an arty pic.lol.

and a final sideways view.
thanks so much for popping by and for all your lovely comments.i`m off to have a couple of biscuits and a cuppa now so i can take my tabs before bed.work tomorrow and then lots of blog hopping to catch up on.
ttfn.luv coops.xxxxx

Fabulous cards Coops. No.1 very typical of most men I'd say! No.2 would suit my hubby very much. He 'thinks' he can sing. I hear a pained wailing noise coming out of the conservatory when he's on 'Guitar Hero'. I think the kids are going to make him a card with this stamp today! Have a fab weekend! xx Jenny xx

Both cards are gorgeous, Nic! Love the image and the buttons on the first card, and I really like your corrugated card (I tell you every time, but I do love it!). I am still really fond of Sugar Nellie stamps, so, of course I love your second card! Great colouring as usual, perfect colour combo, fabulous layout and the string is brilliant! Enjoy your weekend! Hugs Delphine xx PS: Thank you for your lovely comments (& the one about my picture :-)!)
