Sugar Bowl Challenge #9 - Men!

This challenge at the Sugar Bowl had me groaning - I usually struggle with cards for men and boys, BUT one of the wee boys at Scott's Lego club is celebrating his birthday on Monday and his mum is providing them with cake, juice and sweets so I thought I'd make a birthday card for him.

The image is one that Mar kindly stamped up for me and is called Rockstar, from the Luca and Nellie range at Sugar Nellie. And the papers I chose are ones that I'm not a great fan of, Cupcake from Basic Grey, but they seem to work well with the image.

Image: Rockstar from Sugar Nellie, coloured with promarkers

greeting: tag greetings from Stamps Away! - highlighted with stickles

papers: Basic Grey - Cupcake

card for matting: core'dinations

eyelets: WRMK

fibres: Basic Grey - Cupcake
