Cards for Men challenge....

Morning Everyone,
Hope you all had a lovely weekend,I did manage to get ahead sort of,but hey I've got the rest of the week,life permitting...lol...
Today see's a new challenge over at Cards for Men,Donna has picked the theme of.....
 " No Paper i.e. no designer paper" 
and this time we are sponsored by....


 I'm sure you're all familiar with the wonderful work of Kenny K's Shop but what about the man (and woman) behind those wonderful creations.  Take a look here to see their journey, http://www.kennykdownloads.com/about-kenny-and-elena.php

Prize:   1st Prize - 3 digis, 2nd Prize - 2 digis & 3rd prize - 1 digi
website:       www.kennykdownloads.com

The Team were lucky enough to be given some images to us and I've used "Let's Party" for my card............



 As the theme say's no Designer papers so I've used card from my stash and run the pale blue through the ellipse embossing folder from Go-Kreate.....I've then used my MS Cherish punch to go around the white card....


I've used promarkers to colour the image and the colours used were....

Dusky pink,blush,ivory,pastel pink,warm grey 1,2,3,powder blue,pastel blue,denim blue,crimson,poppy,gold,buttercup,cocoa,caramel,cinnamon,sandstone...

I've used glossy accents on his glasses and put some glamour dust onto the disco ball....
The sentiment is from an Hero Arts set and the ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons .......I've used my Woodware Funky star punch to punch a large and small star put them together and used a small button in the middle...I'll be back later with another little look at Humphrey.......
