Masculine and Monochromatic

Hello friends - thanks for being here to visit me.

Lately I've been better at coloring images than 

I have at getting them on finished cards.  

Do you ever go in spurts like that? 

A few weeks ago I colored this awesome guy image
in a sepia monochromatic style (using copic markers). 

 I finally got it on a finished card for my husband.
I told him it's celebrating our anniversary (end of March),
his birthday (end of April) and for Father's Day.
Hey...one of three occasions on time - and even early
for one isn't too bad right?!?  He said he was impressed 

that I didn't wrap 4th of July into it too. LOL!

Here's the finished card - I'm really in love with the

monochromatic effect of this.  (I used copic markers).

Sadly I had a terrible time getting a good photo of 

this today with the gloomy weather. 

Stamp sets used are Good in the Woods 

(main image) and the stars in the background

and sentiment are from Party Time Sentiments
(all from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps).

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
