{FTH} One for the Guys Blog Hop

Welcome to our From the Heart Stamps blog hop. 
Our theme this month is 
“One for the Guys”

 If you have arrived from Angela's blog you are in the right place, if not why don’t you start on the From the Heart Stamps blog, so you don’t miss anything.

 Here is my project, using Birdbrain Card Sharks
As you hop along, please leave a comment on each entry. One random commenter will be selected on each blog to win the image that the designer used. And additionally, one commenter on the From the Heart Stamps blog will be selected to win a $5 gift voucher to the store!
I just love how this card came together!!!  I did a lot of layering, so the card is really thick and heavy, but it's all worth it!!  These three birdbrains are hilarious!!  The reason I chose to use this image is, because it reminds me of the time when I met my husband 13 years ago.  We met at a Poker game and have been the best of friends ever since.  
 I even used one of the awesome sentiments that come with this image.
This is a closer look at my colored image.
Image: Birdbrain Card Sharks
Medium: Copics
Patterned Paper: Unknown from mt HUGE stash
Other: Twine, Alpha Stickers and Foam Dots

Now head over to Dee's blog and see what she has created!!!  Love her choice in sentiment!!!

 Thanks for hopping with us today. The hop will end on Monday June 9th at 6am, EST. Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps Blog on Wednesday June 11th.
