My Favourite Man

The challenge at Scrapbook Boutique  this month is to make a card for our favourite man using shades of brown, white and a mustache feature.  Well, here's where I say a big thank you to my friend, Kim, who recently gave me Kaisercraft's Sears & Son stamp set which contains - yes!! - a mustache!  I chose brown background paper from Papermania's Birdsong paper pad and stamped it with the mustache stamp alternately with Memento Rich Cocoa and Versacolor Topaz.  It looked kinda fun when it was done, and it was a bit of a shame to cover some of it!  Then I  layered the background onto dark brown cardstock, then die cut a piece of the same cardstock with a Spellbinders Decorative Labels One die and added it to the right hand side.  I stamped the antique car (from the same Sears & Son set) with Memento Rich Cocoa ink onto blending card, coloured it with copics, added the sentiment (from Flourishes Fathers Day set) die cut it with a Spellbinders Labels One die and sponged on some Versacolor Topaz ink, then added it with foam tape.  A piece of brown grosgrain ribbon with a knot tied in it completed my card.
I have been blessed to have several special men in my family, including my wonderful Dad who turns 95 next month, but this card is going to my DH who IS my Favourite Man!

Copic Colours used were:  E30, E31, E33, E50, C3, B0000.

Thanks so much for coming to visit!
