In The Pink??

Good Morning all!
It's Wednesday & as you know, that means a new DT card from me for the
The theme this week is 
Think Pink!
 Many people are unaware that Breast Cancer can affect men as well as women!
300 men a year are diagnosed with Breast Cancer in the UK alone!
Early detection leads to early treatment & a better survival rate!
To help raise awareness,
we want to see your Dude's cards featuring Pink!
Here's my card!


As soon as I heard the theme, I knew exactly what I wanted to do!
A Christmas, Tri Shutter Card, featuring the wonderful 
Santi Beaches 
I used a sheet of Pink A4 card stock for the base of my card!
The design paper I have used is by Elaine Hayhoe & is part of a download from 
I love the colour combo of this paper!

 
I coloured Santi using my Promarkers, in similar colours to those in the paper!
I used Woodware Fluffy Stuff on his beard & on his hat!
His sunglasses & cocktail glass have been given a coat of 
Anita's 3D Clear Gloss Liquid Embossing
I then just cut the image to shape & mounted on a piece of silver mirror card.
I added a few little peel of sparkly dots to the corners on the image


On either end of the card, I added some silver elastic twine & a 
silver pink & white poinsettia with a white glittery brad centre.


I made a circle sentiment in my graphics programme.
Which was cut out with an inverted scalloped circle nestie
& this too was mounted on silver mirror card.
Additional embellishments on my card are mirror card punched 
Christmas trees, pink ribbons white card candi & a few pink gems.
There is also a Merry Christmas sentiment
I hope you like it & that you can find the time to enter the 
Dude Time Doodles Think Pink Challenge!

  3. Fantastic card, Dawn! You've done wonders with Santi, getting him decked out in pink. P.S. You missed entering him at Crafty Hazelnut's where the theme is Christmas for a Guy. He needs to be submitted over there, too. :-D

  6. I don't think I've ever seen one project entered into so many challenges! You'll probably win every one of them with this card. I love the colors, and the sentiment is just perfect. Lots of people don't even consider that breast cancer can effect men.
