Manly Monday Sandpiper

My Manly Monday card this week is a thank you card. I think guys like thank you cards too. (although my husband prefers a pack of beer as a thank you)

I stamped this Sandpiper Stamp by Deep Red Stamps onto X-Press cardstock and colored him in with Copic markers. From there I trimmed the image down to the size you see here and matted brown patterned paper behind it. The blue background paper is by Basic Grey and the green strip of paper is and old one by Provo Craft. I love being able to incorporate old product into my projects. It shows that I kept it for a reason. Anyway, the striped paper is by K and Co and the sentiment sticker is by Karen Foster.

Thanks for looking.

And at 6 pm PST on Saturday, December 12th come join us at the Party Chat and have a few laughs with the DT & Sassy fans. You never know when FREEBIES will pop up.

So onto my card. I'll admit, I know nothing about Star Wars other than there is a movie coming up. So when I was asked to use the Luke image I colored the wrong dude. Lol but not really that funny. Once I realized the mistake I printed out Luke onto X-Press It Blending Card, which is a new Copic marker paper for me but it seems to work pretty well and I colored him in with Copic markers and colored pencils by Stampin Up. I didn't have any space paper so I went with this Me and My Big Ideas paper from a boy stack that I've had for ever. It matches. It works. The side border is a Martha Stewart punch out of Sunborn paper. The other cardstock on my card were scraps I found in my stash.

Time to get hopping. Here is the Blog Hop Order:
