Happy Birthday

Morning-

I am so excited to be writing my first post for 2017! 

After a little hiatus, I'm feeling a little rusty, but excited to weening myself back into it. 

Last year, I realized that I had a shortage of masculine birthday cards.  I am making it a point to make more of them this year!!  Especially now that the little ones are getting invited to birthday parties from classmates. Think it's a good idea to keep a healthy stock around. 

{GDT} Cardz 4 Guyz: Jungle Fun

Good morning-

Geez... These days are just swimming by me.  I thought today was Thursday!!  If that were really the case I would be late for everything this week!! 

I'm back this week to share a card I made for this weeks challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz. 

The theme is: 

JUNGLE FUN

I was in a bit of panic mode when I saw this weeks theme.  I don't have anything jungle!!

I thought I had another Lawn Fawn stamps, but I didn't have it and it was too late to order it, so I winged it.  Then seeing this weeks line up, it also included "wildlife"!!!  Phew!!  SAFE!!

So for my card today, I used the Koala from Lawn Fawn: Critters Down Under.  I masked and added two more trees to the scene.   I created the background with distress inks and colored the image using my Copic markers.  I tried giving the Koala little bit of texture, but I didn't want to over do it...but you can see a little from the picture. 

I also added a little dimension on the trees, since this weeks challenge at Lawn Fawn is all about "Dimensions".  The sentiment is from The Alley Way Stamps: Deep in the Woods

Hope you will stop by and join us this week and check out the Cardz 4 Guyz Design Team...

I would like to share this card in the following challenge:
