Merry Christmas Gary......

 
Here is the second of the trio of cards that I made for a commission. The recipient is the father of the High Maintenance Girlfriend. Apparently he lifts weights to keep fit and my client wanted a card to reflect that. There is only one cart with a weight-lifter on it, so out it came and I got cutting. The card base is an A4 and the papers, again, are from Creative Cardmaking. I cut the figure from white cardstock and coloured it with Promarkers, adding shading for a six-pack and features on the face. I gave him Christmassy pants and replaced the weights with Christmas puds. I added punched holly and Stickles berries to the tops of the puds. 'Merry Christmas' and 'Gary' were cut from green glittercard and adhered to the card with foam pads. Larger sprigs of punched holly were added to each corner of the card. The berries were punched from red glittercard with a Cropodile.
Carts used:
Strongman- Carousel (Lite)
Merry Christmas- Wild Card (RDS on)
Gary- George
I'll be back with the final card of the trio tomorrow
Thanks for dropping by!
