BIRTHDAY MONSTER {Fresh Brewed Designs Masculine Challenge}

Dude or Masculine
FRESH BREWED DESIGNS

A lovely challenge is currently running over at Fresh Brewed Designs which is DUDES and/or MASCULINE. I have used these fun images called BOB and PEACE BE STILL , which you can purchase here. Also visit Fresh Brewed Designs' Facebook Page to join in all the fun and surprises, here.

She has been coloured with Copics and dry chalks.  The folded embellishments have been created with a square punch. The design papers and brads are from my stash. The sentiment is from CREATE WITH TLC.  The cloud background has been done with dry chalks.


I would love to try my hand at the following challenges with this creation:
