Cards for Men - Challenge 10 - "Someone Special"

Good Morning everyone, yet another fortnight has gone by and here we are at our tenth Challenge and my fellow team member Sarah of http://rainmacsplace.blogspot.com/ has chosen the theme of "Someone Special" and this time we are being sponsered by Digital Delights.

And they are offering you a fabulous prize of 3 digital stamps of your own choice. And here is what they say about themselves:-

Welcome to Digital Delights, a magical place filled with my little digi creations from all walks of life. We have a wide range of digital stamps which are delivered straight to your email 24/7!! http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/

And here is my card for this Challenge:-

As team member we were given several images to play with and I chose this Teddy Bear one for my card, and have printed him onto white card then used my copic and tria pens to colour him, then I used a circle die from Nestabilities to cut him out and a larger one for the mount, I also used some glossy accents for the balloons. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same way as my image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with several papers from two Paper stacks Wild Roses for Men, and the Forever Friends, they went together so well that I felt they were the best choice. The first one is a white base with brown and blue checks on, the second is a blue check and the third a stripe, then for the last one is a brown and white check, a little different from the usual one. On top of this I positioned my mounted image with the sentiment at the bottom on the right. To finish of I have used three blue buttons of different sizes and some bakers twist threaded through the holes and knotted, these were stuck down the right hand side of my card at the top.
Now youve seen my card I do hope that you will pop across to Cards for Men Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talent Team Members have created for you, and hopefully it will inspire you to take part in this fortnights challenge.

A Card for Many Challenges

Good Afternoon Everyone, the sun is out and its glorious, Ive just been in the garden doing a bit of weeding and tidying up, and Ive left hubby cutting the grass. Before I start I want to warn you that theres a damn nusiance Phishing email going around from TUBELY if you get one stick it in the bin as its worse than facebook and it will pinch all your email addressess and keep sending out invites to all your family and friends, I got stuck with one the other day and its been nothing but a pain since, one of my friends must have had it and its pinched all her email addressess and its now seems to have pinched mine, so if you do receive an invite from me bin it straight away.
Anyway Ive created todays card for a few challenges but mainly for the Just Magnolia's "Happy Birthday" Challenge, and Ive used this sweet image of Tilda carrying a presant, I have used not only my copic pens on her but also my Tria pens as they have some lovely colours in them. I then used the Beaded Oval from Nestabilities for the mount and the sentiment is one from my stash.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink pearlescent card and Ive used two papers from the Forever Friends paper pack, this first paper is a pretty flower one, and on top is Ive placed a doily not that you can see it as its under the flowers, then the second paper is a stripped one thats been placed down the card on the left. Then around the middle I have wrapped some lace trim with a pink spotted ribbon on top and attached it to the back of the first layer.
I then positioned my mounted image in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom on the right hand side. To finish of Ive created a flower spray in the top right hand corner with several sizes of roses and punched out fern leaves.
