Just For Fun

Hi Everyone!!!
Will here's my Manly Card for August,,,,, I think I missed last months manly card...sorry!
So today I need a Manley Birthday card and this is what I came up with. 
I think it turned out pretty good... I used Creative Memories Red and Black, and then SU paper for the background with the Poker Chips and the JUST FOR FUN also came from the same SU paper pack, I just cut the words out of the paper and edged them in black ink.  Now the King of diamonds came from a SU stamp set that I borrowed from a stamping friend years ago and stamped a sheet of the cards to use as need... Always wanted to buy this set but just never did....


Here you can see how I colored in the King of Diamonds with markers and used Red and Gold Liquid Pearls to set off his trim and crown.
The black ribbon came from my stash, have no idea where it came from... Don't usually do ribbon on my Manly Cards but his just needed something so it got a little ribbon with a knot.

This is the inside, I used a EKSuccess border punch at the bottom and then colored in the black.... then added a strip of the Poker Chips paper next.  The sentiment came from Fiskars-Make a Wish Quotes set, and the long Happy Birthday came from a CTMH Happy Birthday (C1257) set.
The size of the completed card is 5.5 x 4.25 and will fit a A2 Envelope.
This card with decorated envelope cost 3.00/each, and like anything hand made no two will be alike, maybe very close but can't promise.
Thanks for stopping by again!
Hope you Enjoyed!!
