My younger son, Alex, was 16 yesterday (where did the last 16 years go) and has been playing a lot of golf recently, so instead of the usual cricket card he got one with a golf theme. He's got a great sense of humour so I wanted a funny image and after seeeing this one somewhere in Blogland I managed to track it down to 'Karens Doodles'. Fortunately it was a digital image and not a rubber stamp so it wasn't a problem that I was on the last minute as usual.
It's 20cms square and I've used Funky Hand DP's so that I can enter it into the current challenge at Get Funky which is Boys, Boys, Boys. The papers are a combination, some from the 'Jovial Man' collection on Colour Me Happy and the other from the latest freebie. ProMarkers were used for colouring the image and the flag was created to enable me to add his age.
I really like the finished card but after it was too late I had the idea to use a scorecard instead of one of the rectangles - well maybe next time.
