A Birthday Card for a Man

Good Morning everyone, I sincerely hope that you arnt suffering to much from the cold weather, at the moment we seem to be escaping the snow but we've had a few very hard frosts in the morning and thats certainly made if cold outside.

I thought for a change from a stamped image I would create a card for a friend whos birthday is next month, something a little cheeky. And this one is created from one of Joanna Sheens Cds, this image is from Animal Antics, and Ive used this Gorilla as my main topper, Ive printed him out onto a piece of semi-gloss photo paper then cut him out and mounted him onto a piece of brown pearlescent card then a piece of gold. The greeting was one I created on my computer and printed it out and mounted it in the same way as my image.

For my base card Ive used an 8"x 8" white card, with my first layer being a piece of gold mirri card, and on top of this I have used a further piece of the same brown pearlescent card but I had to cut it half to put through my cuttlebug with an embossing folder, then Ive stuck them together with a piece of check ribbon across the join, on top of the gold mirri card.

Ive then stuck my photo image in the centre and my greeting to the right hand side at the bottom, to finish of Ive printed a speech bubble with a cheeky saying in it, hopefully to give it a bit of a lift, I just hope the person receiving it will enjoy it.
