Good morning and happy weekend, this week's challenge theme at Sweet Stampin' is 'Birthday Boys', I made this side stepper card for a friend we've known since we were all young, the most laid-back guy I've ever met! He does like a pint -or two and often sports a striped t shirt (someone told him that stripes were slimming...) I've had this fun digi for years, it's from Ladybird Crafts Inc.-sadly no longer trading :( Now this could actually be our friend, the resemblance is amazing!) I coloured him up with copics and added a few stripes to his t-shirt, and popped him onto the front of my embossed card. The embossing folder was a magazine freebie and I've added some die cut sentiments and stars to finish.
For more ideas of what to make for the boys please take a look at Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog where you will find some fabulous creations from Team Susan. We'd love to have you play along and share your ideas with us too.
Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend.

Love the way you have cut out the image and used a stepper card, super EF and some super dies. I remember that image. Had a search for a Cardmaking Mag, that I still have as it is the only time I have had a card published in a magazine and that was in 2014 and it was Ladybug Crafts and Ink.
