A lovely man!

Goo morning all,

I hope you are enjoying the sunshine! 

 I was at a wedding yesterday and it was a lovely day, luckily the rain held off, the bride looked totally stunning (a bit biased as she is my niece!  but she really did!) and the whole ceremony went well.  It always nice to catch up with family at these occasions and bizarrely, all the ladies in my family, even baby Sophie turned up wearing the same colour - like it was planned - but it wasn't!

The card for today is one of my favourites!  I love, love,love this stamp!  It is so wonderful to have a really good male image on a stamp.  We have christened him 'the sexy man'

Stamp 196 by Bispha for AALL and Create

Having said I love the stamp, I then had to do it justice! and I pondered for quite a while thinking of what to do with him (keep it clean!!)
I eventually found a nice background which I had done earlier with paint on a gel press, (I think this may have been a 'mop up' bit)
I stamped him on the background, then coloured with pencils and black and white pens and added a bit of distress ink. and a few white splatters.
I saw Janice on TV trying to decide what the bird is and I am pretty sure it is a red cardinal (which is why I coloured him red!!)

Thanks very much for visiting, enjoy the rest of the weekend.
