Well it isn't often that I get to say this but heck - i really LOVE this card! I think alot of it is to do with its simplicity - ok so there is an AWFUL lot of buttons on it, but other than that it is quite simple. I am trying really hard to work on my colouring this year, I keep seeing awesome artwork out there and just wishing my cards could compare, this image is really great for practising, the dude has a nice big head LOL!!
I used one of my new kraft card blanks, and then simply added 3 strips of Basic Grey Archaic paper - my go to papers for masculine cards. These sadly have nearly all gone too, but I only used scraps for this card, so I must remember to copy this layout in the future!! I cut the image out with circle nestabilities and coloured him with my copic markers. I then stuck him to the card and surrounded him in various buttons I have been collecting for years yet never seem to use. I finished the card with some faux stitching, some orange gems and a rubon sentiment.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly - All the Bs (I was totally inspired to dig out those buttons and there is bling on there too in the form of gems)
ABC Christmas - A for Anything Goes
Pixie Dust - We're Going Dotty

Fab card Zoe, I love the button frame (I have millions of buttons as you know & this would be a fab way to use some of them!). I must get my sewing machine out again too.
