My Hero!

 Good morning all!

It's Wednesday! Happy Hump Day to you all! 

By this afternoon we'll be on the downhill run to the weekend! Yay!

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love 

Friday & the promise of the weekend ahead!

Anyhoo back to business!

It's time for a new challenge over at Dude Time Doodles!

This weeks challenge, is an inspirational/colour challenge & the theme is

"Hero"

Look at all those fab heros in the photo! They all hang out in Dudeville

Awesome are they not!

So, who is your Hero? 

Well, apart from my Dad (of course), my husband is my Hero!

Shhhh don't tell him he might get big headed! lol

It's our wedding anniversary soon, so I made this card for him!

 

It's a little double pocket tag card!

(It's a bit of a chuckle really as he is not a morning person at all & is 

not worth abutton before he has his morning coffee poor soul!)

I've never made one of these card before & have always been in awe of them 

but now I know how, they are oh so simple to do!

I used an A4 sheet of plain white cardstock for the base card.

I scored, cut & folded the card & then cut some design paper to fit.

(I can't think for the life of me where it's from right now but 

I'll have a think & try to update later!)

 Before sticking the card together, I did a bit of paper piercing 

& added some faux stitching with a white gel pen.

I then stuck together & added some ribbon & button detail 

as well as the sentiment which I made on the pc & cut out with a 

Nellie Snellen frame it die then inked the edges with distress ink.

As you can see I added two tags, one before coffee & one after! lol

 

The tags have been kept simple! I cut them out using a sizzix tag die

& backed with a co-ordinating card stock.

I coloured the images with Promarkers.

This is Rough Night Rodney

( I left his legs quite pale deliberately! lol)

I added a few splodges around his head, inked the edges with distress ink 

then added co-ordinating ribbon

This is the after image Henry Hero much more like it huh!

Such a handsome chap!

I may add a little gift card later but 

I have added a little gift of a coffee bag for now!

Here is a closer look at the sentiment I created.

 I hope you like my creation & 

I especially hope you're inspired to join in the Hero/Colour challenge over at
