Good morning, my card today is for this fortnight's challenge at Crafty Catz, It's my turn to host and pick the twist for the DT to use
which is 'more than one fold' - as always the twist is optional.
Our lovely sponsor for this challenge is
BECCYS PLACE
I have to say I do enjoy using her lovely digital stamps, thank you Beccy.
I chose this fun dog image, Scamander from the Ruff Day set, and coloured him up with my markers to look like Marvin, my Red Fox Labrador. I matted the image onto a top folded panel of brown cardstock which lifts up to reveal my son's age on his next birthday- the big Four-O! He adores Marvin so I think he'll be pleased with the card (even if not happy about being such an advanced age!)
I used stencils and blue and brown distress inks to make my background papers. The card base is a simple Z fold.
There's loads more inspiration from the rest of the DT, so please do hop over to the challenge blog to check them out, then why not join in the fun with a fabulous creation of your own.
Thank you for visiting my blog today,
I hope you have a lovely weekend
Chris

What a fabulous card, love the Marvin look-alike, so cute haha. Hope your son has a great 40th when it comes, life begins, or so they say, mine are all past that age now and my oldest son is 48 this year, he complains, what about me I say, hahaha.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend. xx
A fabulous fun card for your son's 40th birthday Chris,love the image and your layout
ReplyDeleteHi Chris,
ReplyDeleteoh this is gorgeous and what a very fun way to put the age on it.
Love the paw prints and the digi image of that sweet dog which you have coloured perfectly too.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
'Marvin' looks excited about something, could it be a walk or maybe treat time? It's a super card Chris and you've got the colouring spot on for a Red Fox.
