Father's Day

Hello, everyone!  It's time for a new challenge from the Creative Moments Challenge blog.  The theme is: Masculine.  I am using an image from our fabulous sponsor: Kit and Klowder.

 Here is my card:
This is my Father's Day card for my dad.  He used to own a motorcycle so this is the perfect image for him!  This is an adorable image and Kit & Klowder has a tutorial on how to color him.  Just to be clear, I did not use the tutorial, so please don't judge their class on my coloring ability!!  I find it challenging to use my markers on very fine details (partly because I am now at the age at which I need reading glasses to see up close), so I decided to attempt colored pencils.  I actually think it came out pretty well.  I'm not overly happy with the color of the bear's fur, but other than that, not too bad, if I say so myself.  In order to have any chance of coloring within the lines, I printed the image out rather large so it didn't leave much room for any extras.  But I did find the little red heart in a bag of bits and pieces and I think it finishes it off perfectly!

You have all month to play along.  So, get inky and link up your creation; I can't wait to see what you create!

    Oh my, soooo adorable... Love your colorful image which nicely pops against all the neutral colors and patterns in the background. Thanks for sharing your DTC enhanced 3-2-1 recipe using Twisted Sister's twist and TSOT's sketch. Fun card.
