The Twisted Sister challenge for next Friday is to make a masculine card, and put wild life on it. Well, this is a retirement card for Fred, and if you knew him, you'd know this qualifies! Lol! I am sure there is some critters behind them trees too....
I had so much fun with this TSC. Used my Cottage Cutz Trees for the first time, and an old favorite from Art Impressions. I am beginning to get serious with Copics, and is it ever a chore! I watch youtube videos over and over. Someday....maybe!
I added Crystal Effects to his field glasses, and mini brads for buttons to his vest. The background clouds were made by sponging Bashful Blue over a randomly torn paper towel. Sponged in some green and covered the ground with an image from Rubbernecker's Kitty Kits. (Love those!) Tucked in some MS branches, and called it done!
If you'd like to join the Twisted Ones next Friday, add the keywords TSC0629 so we can take a peek!
Thanks for looking!

Pat, this is such a great card! I think this guy knows my husband - seriously! I can hear it now. "Don't worry hon, I see the trail now". Looking around I utter a meek, "uh-huh." Then I step into the cactus barbs!! *laughing* Seriously, Pat this is a great, retirement card and one any man is going to get a real kick out of. Love all your great details on Fred and love, love those TRESS!
