Birthday Card for Dad

My dad's birthday is coming up.  He will receive this card as soon as he returns from his golfing trip down in MS.  Twenty plus men go every year to play golf and have guy time.  I decided to use Bugaboo digi Gus Golf for my card and Bugaboo sketch challenge #133.

Here's the sketch:

Here's my take:

This card is rather large, 5.75 x 8.75 (A9).  I printed out my digi and realized if I wanted to make the sketch work, it had to be a big card.  I colored the image with water color and regular color pencils.  I thought Gus needed to be a little outrageous in his choice of outfits.  My dad and his buddies have crazy sock, crazy pants and crazy etc days when they play during the week.  The DP had to be plaid. 

I popped up the image and the sentiment.  It can look bulky if you don't with the twine underneath.  

Gus is such a cranky funny guy, I can't belive there is a challenge for things that make you laugh.  So, I'm entering this card in the Tip Top Tuesday challenge ROFL.

A little birthday wish in the inside.  I think it's a card my dad will be happy to receive.

thanks for looking and reading :o)
