Feeling Tired....or Not....

Happy Thursday....which means it's nearly Friday!  While some of you may be feeling a little tired after a long week, others will be looking forward to a little monkeying around....

I really do hope this image, Feeling Tyred, makes you smile?  It's was previously a freebie from Just Inklined, but can now be found in their store.  I've used it for a Get Well card, with a bit of humour tucked inside as well!

Coloured with Prismas, I've inked the edges, but no glitter or sparkle.  This card is for my brother-in-law, who isn't feeling too chipper, and I wanted it rather clean and simple.

This week's sketch from A Crafty Little Place provided the inspiration, and their challenge is actually One for the Guys...works for me!  You'll notice some bars behind the image, he could be feeling a bit caged in....

The paper is all from the Cosmo Cricket Wanted pad, but I have added some leafy stamping to give it a bit of jungle feel.

I've used a MS punch for a border along the bottom, to simulate some vegetation, while an EK punch provided a frame for the image.

Other challenges for this card, with a male or jungle theme:
Paper Sundaes - #42 For the Boys
Papertake Weekly - Penny for the Guy
