This is a card following a great sketch over on Cute Card Thursday this week. I used this image from the Flipping Men range - now I have to confess that I am not a fan at all of these images but when I saw that they were on offer over at Image-e-Nation I couldn't resist. All EIGHT sets of Flipping Men were on offer for £20 and you got all EIGHT sets of Flipping Women thrown in too and no postage!! Honestly, 16 sets of stamps for £20 and they come with loads of fab sentiments and small accessory stamps. For me, I do struggle with men's cards so thought they would be useful just to have a few humorous images in my stash which are often more suitable than cutsey ones.
I coloured him in with Distress Inks, which I haven't used for quite a while so it was nice to use a different medium. The background paper is from a 7 Gypsies set - Calais, and the floral paper, I cut round from a piece of Basic Grey Origins.
Now for some really exciting news of a chance to win the whole set of Aqua Markers from LetraSet!!! Yep, the whole set of 40 colours are up for grabs on Passion For Promarkers - get over there and check it out. Last summer, before I had even dreamt of being part of the fantastic team over at PFP, I won the whole new release of 53 new colours from a draw on the blog, so go and enter your name - it's the most fantastic feeling to win something like this!!
That's why I thought I'd give my watercolouring skills a brush up!! Oh, I wish we could enter - best of luck to you all!!!
