This is for today's FEATURED STAMPER CHALLENGE - jojot. I have always loved and admired Joanne's gallery so it was a pleasure to CASE her HB'day Sue card. I changed the layout, colors, border punch, left off the cuttlebug and brads. I made this masculine for Friday's LIMITED SUPPLY CHALLENGE - Masculine and this time I did not add anything I was not suppose to so I don't have to worry about Judy calling the police. LOL. If you look close you will see his furry mustache and hair covered with brown fun flock for Thursday's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE - Warm & Fuzzy. My layout is Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE and for my color combo I used Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE - Cocoa Vanilla Teal. I stamped my chef image and coffee cup on vanilla cs with espresso ink then colored with copic markers. I trimmed my focal image using out of the box technique. The bottom panel was cut with my new Martha Stewart border punch I just bought at WM on a shopping trip with hubby. My focal image is popped up. I left the theme as birthday and these colors scream manly don't they?

Very cool card and it is so great that you could wrap all those challenges into one. Manly cards aren't that easy and this is a great one. Love the colors and how you slipped in some polka dots. That coffee cup is about the size I need this morning - great job.

Neva- this is awesome. I will never know how you combine so many challenges! Three is a real challenge for me...any more than three, I inadvertently violate one of the challenge rules! LOL!
And what about this card?! Wonderful!! The colors for the Chef are just perfect and your coloring is awesome. Plus he is offering coffee...my favorite! Here's to you, Queen of the Challenges!

I recognized instantly the martha stewart punch and I actually have it, but not able to use it being a demonstrator. But posting a card that uses another companies product against the rules? I thought the SU only site meant just SU products only. Am I wrong?:confused:
