Happy Birthday to Hubby...

Today is my hubby's birthday so last night I put together a card for him. Poor guy..he has to put up with me not being able to make anything but cute! I used this Elzybells image and coloured with Lyras and Primas. I tried to make the couch look like plaid using the pencil crayons..I think it turned out ok. Now this is not typical of my husband to be reading and falling asleep on the recliner...he works sometimes 7 days a week and sometimes I think he should just take a nice needed break! Very deserving he is of that! So Happy Birthday Bruce and I hope you have a great day! I'm off to make Chocolate Cake...now this is not a request from the hubster but from my son! Good choice bud!

Chrisrtine, this is a great card, coloring is wonderful and love the plaid! Today is my daughters birthday and I also made chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Tomorrow is my husband's birthday, and I'm making pumpkin pie!
What a coincidence!

This is a great card, love the plaid and the image is so cute. Male cards are always harder to make.
