For my card today i decided to work on getting caught up on some man bday cards! I have some images printed but its so much easier to make girl cards! lol The image is from Kenny K and i coloured him with copics and cut him out (i printed him too big to go in a nestie! lol

My papers are PTI white, kraft, basic black and to the nines dsp from SU. This is great paper for man cards! I then distressed everything!! lol
