Dads birthday card

My Dads birthday was yesterday (same day as mine - he must have been devastated to get me as a present all those years ago haha). I have only just made him his card today as they are still away travelling but are home tonight.



Love the image as it is my Dad all over (mind you he won't thank me for saying that he drinks beer in his pyjamas LOL). The image is a digi download from DigiStamp Boutique who are sponsoring this weeks Allsorts challenge (Just for Men), I just went for a nosey really as one of the DT had used a golfer image from there Digi Stamp Boutique which looked cute. However when I saw this I had to have it for my Dad! The PJ's and slippers were coloured with pro markers and I paper pieced the armchair, got this idea from Cards for Men challenge. I made the crossword in word and used it as the sentiment. I clear embossed the beer glass.

I have followed the sketch over at Our Creative Corner as it is not too fussy for a blokes card and the colour combo in shades of grey (which is a bit out of my comfort zone, still might give into the urge to add a bit of burgundy to his slippers) is this weeks theme on the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge.
