Anything Goes # 87 - Very Manly (Boys/Men)

Good morning Blogger friends...

It's time for another challenge over at Anything Goes and this fortnight our theme is "Very Manly", so we want to see your cards for men or boys.

I've chosen a couple of digi images from Make It Crafty, they are Flying Balloon Contraption and Annabelle.

This has to be my most ambitious colouring so far. They've both been coloured with Copics and I'm really pleased with the outcome. I lost count of how long they took me to colour, but it must be over 3 hours!

Copics Used:

Skin: E11, E00, E000, E0000, R30

Greens: YG99, YG95, YG93, C7

Smoke: C3, C1, C0, C00

Browns: E44, E43, E42, E41, E40

Yellows: Y38, Y35, Y21, Y00

Greys: C9, C7, C5, C3, C1, C0

Reds: R59, R29, R27, R24, R22

Hair: E99, E97, E51, E50, E59

Clouds/Sky: BG000, B91, C1, C0, C00

The sprockets have been cut using Spellbinders 'Sprightly Sprockets' and the tags are 'Ribbon Tags Trio'.

The sentiment is by Lili of the Valley

I'm really pleased with how the card's turned out and my Hubby was so chuffed to receive it for his recent Birthday.

Hope you are able to join us this fortnight. Just think you could make a father's day card super early!

MIC Anastasia...

Good afternoon Blogger friends..

Hope you're having a lovely weekend.

Last night we went out for a lovely meal to celebrate my son's 16th Birthday. He loved his basketball card. Last year I never got around to making him a card and I felt sooo bad. So Christmas cards were been put on hold so I could make it. Looks like I will be buying Christmas ones again.

I'm starting to feel old now. Brandon's 16 and 6 ft , Leonie will be 18 in March and Frazer who's 14 realised yesterday (much to his delight) that he was taller than me!

Today's card is one I've made for my Mum's birthday which is in a few weeks. See I told you no Christmas cards were being made. Lol.

I've used a gorgeous digi stamp from Make It Crafty. It took me absolutely ages to colour her. I used a great tutorial over at MIC by the super talented Alyce (Kit and Clowder). If you've not paid her blog a visit then you really should - her creations are beautiful and her colouring amazing.

Now my colouring is not on Alyce's level , but I'm really pleased with my first attempt.

So here she is ...

I really enjoyed colouring her. So much that I went and bought some more of their digis.

Here's a close up of her.

I've used the sketch over at Sketch Saturday for my card.

The papers are all distressed with Walnut stain and the image is coloured with copics. I've used my new Tim Holtz 'On the edge Butterflies' die, and also bought the snowflakes one too.

I've also decorated the inside too..
