Top Man - Robyn's Fetish Challenge #132

Hi all!

Due to hurricane Sandy in USA we are a day later than usual, but it is time for a new challenge at Robyn's Fetish! This weeks challenge is cards for a man, and we are sponsored by The Crafty Pad, they are offering 3 digis of the winners choice, or 1 set and 1 single digi, isn't that great?
This is what I created:

I also used an image by The Crafty Pad, this one is called Albert Diggin'. You can find him here.
I don't often make male cards, so I had a hard time on this one. Most of you know, I add flowers to my cards most of the time, but it wasn't appropiate here...
Here is a close-up of the colored image

I used the following Copic Markers to color Albert
Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11 and R20 for blush
Hair: E15, E18
Clothes: YR04, YR07 and YR09, BG01 and BG05
Shovel: E15 and E18, C5 and C7
Ground: E15 and E18 and YG63 and YG67.
Shading: W00, W0 and W1

The sentiment is also by The Crafty Pad, and can be found here. I used my BG01 marker to color the letters.

The backgroundpapers are by My Minds Eye, not a real "male"collection, but I picked the most masculine papers! I used a Martha Stewart border punch to make a border. The ribbon is from my stash and is stapled to my card. the sentiment is popped up with foam tape, and I used a gauze from my first aid kit behind my main image. Let's just hope I don't need me first aid kit, I ran out of gauzes!!!

Anyway, that was it for today, hop over to the Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog and join us!


Hugs, Sandra
