Happy Holidays!

Happy Wednesday bloggers!
I hope you're all well!
It's time for the latest challenge at Dude Time Doodles.
This week is an Inspiration Challenge
Here's my card!




We'd like to see you make a Holiday Creations for a man,
your project can be either Christmas/Hannukah!

I made a twisted easel card using kraft card for my base.
pad by Southfield Stationers. I think these colours are just right
for making cards for men!


The image I've used is Bloodhound Christmas, it's available in the 
Every time I look at that image, it reminds me of the mayhem & fun
which results in our family get together's at Christmas!
Always a real hoot I have to say! lol
I coloured my image with Promarkers & Flexmarkers
then distressed the edges with a Colourbox chalk inkpad.


Here's another view.
I kept my card simple, matting the design papers with
plain black paper. I then made some little corners with a snowflake paper
& I used the sentiment as the stop for my easel section. 
The ribbon trim was a gift, I'm not sure how well
you can see it in the photo but it's black & silver too!

  14. Ooooo, loving the twisted easel, Dawn! What a fun image. My dogs would never have done that but the cats? Oooooh, yes! Up the tree and out onto any available branch, and then try to tell me they were chasing a mouse and keeping him away from Santa's cookies! Humbug! :-D
