Cards for Men Challenge #11 - "Congratulations" and DT Call

Good Morning All, I hope youve had a good weekend, I have, Ive been in charge of taking the dog for a walk while hubby has been volunteering, hes does work with the local restoration Steam Railway and he does love it so I suppose I ought accept it, though at times it does rather take over our weekends.
Anyway back to this fortnights challenge over on Cards for Men and for this one we are being sponsered by Meljens, and we want to see the word "Congratulations" on your card somewhere.


And they are offering a prize of 4 digi images of your own choice, and here is what Melissa says about her company.

Meljen's Designs is a lovely stamp company owned and illustrated by Melissa Jenkins. She illustrates whimsical rubber and digital images inspired by her kids and family. Meljen's Designs has new releases along with a new challenge every Thursday, freebies every Monday and a Guest Designer each month at the Meljen's Designs Blog. Please visit the Meljen's Designs line of stamps at  http://www.meljensdesigns.com/ and browse and enjoy Melissa's wonderful images!

And we were lucky enough to be given several images to play with and I decided as I have two friends who are expecting this year I would throw caution to the wind and make a new baby boy card just in case one of them did have a boy.


And of course its Mr.Stork delivering his little buddle, Ive printed him onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him, afterwards I cut him out with my rotatrim, the mount was done in the same way. The sentiment was created on my computer and printed and mounted in the same way as my image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card and Ive used just one paper from one of my New Baby paper Pads. The pram diecut is one of the Marieanne dies and has been placed in the bottom left hand corner, afterwards I mounted my image towards the right with the sentiment below.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will go and visit the Cards for Men Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you also will want to create a "Congratulations" card for a special occassion.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-
