Challenge #20 - Cards for Men - "Animal Magic"

Good Morning Everyone, yet another fortnight has flown by and we have reached our 20th Challenge over on the Cards for Men Challenge Blogspot, and for this we want to see animals on your cards as its themed "Animal Magic" and we are being sponsored by Meljens Designs.

We were lucky enough to be given a few images to play with and I chose this one for my card.

Its "Astronaut Bear" and I have printed him onto white card and then used my copic pens to colour him, after cutting him out with my rotatrim I used a blue inkpad around the edges to create the sky. Ive mounted him onto red card. The sentiment was created in My Craft Studio and then cut out with a circle die, and used a larger one on some red card for the mount.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card, the papers I have used are Nitwits Downloads "Spaced Out", the first a dark one with stars, rockets and planets on, the second is a red sentiment one and the third is a pale blue background with a circle pattern on it.

Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will go and visit the Cards for Men Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will also want to take part in this "Animal Magic" Challenge.

This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-
