Manly Birthday Card w/Gus

Hi Everyone!
I have another birthday card to share...posting a little later than I had planned but here it is...

And the great thing is it fits a bunch of challenges as well....

Thursday Challenge – Let’s hear it for the Boys – Masculine Card

and I used the sketch  for the new

Seize The Birthday Challenge

Introducing Gus....LOL! He is such a character!!

I did some paper piecing with him today....wanted to have his robe and slippers match the papers I was using....check out his bunny slippers....LOL!!
I also added some glossy accents to his glasses after coloring the remaining of him with my copic markers

I also ended up using my scraps to finish the inside and make my own brad!

The original brad had a sticker on the top so I peeled it off and stuck it to the pattern paper that I wanted to use. I traced the circle, cut it out then glued it to the top of the brad.

To smooth out the edges I quickly sanded it then added a layer of glossy accents to the whole thing... I LOVE the way it tuned out and the best thing....I was able to use some small scraps!
