Make me smile

So in honor of the UK's National Smile Month we've a nice easy challenge over at Naughty or Nice ... just make us smile!  Hope you'll link a card over at their blog :)

The Bank Holiday weather certainly smiled on us today ... sunshine all day and dizzy temperatures of 18 degrees!  I had the power washer out and got loads done in the garden - is it just me who has pots of 'dead things' and can't remember what it was or if it's going to come back? Anyway, whatever they were they're not there now ;)

I don't get my 'naughty' side out often, but this dude will do it every time hahaha
He's an oldie from Hambo, isn't he class!  I do struggle with sentiments though, and this was the best I could come up with!

Coloured my dude with watercolour pencils and then popped up on dimensionals.  Brushos on background.

Wow, it's the start of June already, how did that happen?!!!  This month's challenge at Naughty or Nice is ...

We'd love to see your male themed cards, and if they're a bit naughty all the better!
My card this month is a naughty one .... ;)

My flasher is an old stamp from Hambo - coloured with watercolours and popped up on dimensionals.
Background chalked using a MFT zebra print stencil.  Paper Smooches arrow die.
Doodled border, silver peel off line, some staples and bling from stash to finish.

My sentiment should be said in your best imitation of Leslie Phillips from the Carry On films ;)

• Die Cuttin Divas #268 - anything goes with a die cut

Birthday Balloons

Just a quickie post ... I'm just about ready for bed but thought I'd get this post up so I don't have to do it tomorrow!
I'm still on a mission to get some cards made for pressies and thought I'd have a go at a male card using this super old balloon stamp (no idea of the make).  The cityscape is also an oldie from Hambo.  And I happened across this balloon themed DP in my stash, so coloured my image with promarkers to match.
