Old Man

 It's time fr a new challenge from the team at Fusion and this time I played with the sketch and took guidance from the colours in the photo.



As I mentioned a few weeks ago, my Dad's 89th birthday is coming up.  I made a card back then that I thought I would give him, but then was inspired to make this card which he'll get a laugh out of - especially because inside the card I've stamped the sentiment that says "For everyone's safety, please skip the candles this year" 😄

The navy blue half-circle is inlaid into the card base and then I added the strips of patterned paper, which I took from the patterns in the inspiration photo.  I stamped the sentiment vertically and then added the old man, which I'd stamped and coloured with Copics.


Thanks for visting!  Please head over and check out the wonderful cards made by the design tean.
