Another Great Guy Card

Hi Crafters,
I was asked to make a birthday card showing a man on a ride-on mower as this was his dream to own one, so here is my offering...

I had a digital image from Karen's Doodles on my computer and I merged it with a garden picture in 'My Craft Studio', then set about colouring it with my Promarkers. The Happy Birthday is a Stampin' Up stamp which I mounted on top of two banners.

See you soon,
