CHRISTMAS CARD FOR A MALE!

Hello there blog friends and lovely followers!  I am just posting my latest 'commissioned' card.  Naughty moi left the male one until last - 'cos I'm such a coward!  My blog friend Sue (Ollie's Mam) helped me with the picture - she is wonderful!  Once I had this, it was relatively plain sailing so thanks once again Sue.   Don't forget that I am coming to paint the Cistine Chapel for you - aka the ceiling of your new craft room!  If you could picture me lying on my back on top of scaffolding trying to paint you would all be ROFL - ie rolling on [the] floor laughing.

Anyway - something else I want to blurb on about (you see I haven't posted for a while so I am a tad loquacious - just seen this word in 50 Shades so I thought I would use it - lol).  My Christmas pressy from hubby arrived this afternoon and, of course, he wanted me to check it out.  He's bought me Copics - even the young lady at the supplier said I was lucky to have such a wonderful hubby - no arguments from me!  I asked if I could use them before Christmas and he said "it's up to you, you won't have anything to open though" as he backed out of my craft room.  Think he backed out 'cos I was fluttering me sparse eyelashes and biting me bottom lip!!! (Another reference to the 50 Shades book - well at least the biting lip bit is - it isn't a good look 'cos it makes me chins wobble).

'Nuff said - here is my card, the background card is dark green and textured although it looks black.

 

 

 The pic Sue sent me had Santa just catching the ball, but I wanted him running and almost catching it.  Hubby changed it for me and also de-coloured it so that I could use my Promarkers on it.  I found a pic of a rugby ball and decoupaged it onto the picture (instead of deeecoupaging it).

I hope you like this card and leave me a comment or two.  By all means tell me if you think it is a little too 'girly' but I am pleased with this one - that makes it a miracle I can tell you.  I have decorated the inside quite plainly (similar to the last ones I've made) so I've not bothered with a pic.

 

Oooh by the way, Wilma has contacted me and her 'winnings' will be winging their way to her tomorrow (bit later than expected Wilma!).

 

Big hugs to all of you out there and thank you for following my little blog heaven.  You are brilliant allowing me to waffle on as I do.  Come on now, who said "we don't have much choice?" LOL.
