Cards for Men - Challenge Eleven - "Good Luck"

I cannot believe that the last Challenge bought over a 100 entrants and they were all fabulous, it was obviously a very popular theme, and I sincerely hope that this fortnights one is equally as exciting for you all. "Good Luck" is our theme this time, and we got a fabulous sponser in :-

and here is what is what Christy says about her company :- http://thestampingboutique.com/

Our company, "The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality,as well as, their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor this week.

And she is offering 5 digi images as a prize, so Im sure there will be a great rush to take part in this challenge, and as there will be so many of you taking exams this year I thought Id used this fabulous image from Christy of a Graduate.

and I printed him onto white card and coloured him with my copic pens and then cut him out with one of my Nestabilitie dies, after which I drew around the edge of the die to create the mount for it out of dark blue card then cut it out by hand, before mounting the image onto it I ran some glue around the edge and dipped it into some fine glitter. The sentiment is a mixture of two stamps as I didnt have quite the combination I wanted and felt this was just right for this card.

The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first layer of blue card and one of two fabulous papers from Donna's Bearly Mine Extreme designs Cd, this has swirls on in white and a base blue paper, on top of this I have layered up two pieces of two different blue strips that have been put through my cuttlebug with my star embossing folder. On top of this Ive layered another mount in a diamond shape and a second paper with stars on, and then positioned my mounted image on top of this and my sentiment at the bottom on the right.
