CIJ Day 5 at CTB Gus Christmas I tried

Today it's Day 5 of the Christmas in July celebration at Catch the Bug and the theme for today is to make us laugh. For my card I used the image, Gus I tried Christmas List.  I feel that is my list too, lol. I added Glossy Accents to his glasses and Sakura Jelly Glitter Pen to the ornaments.  Gus doesn't look too sorry that he downed a few beers, it must be his weekend binge which is like a lot of people who I know around here. Good thing he has those reindeer. I actually did a CAS card even though I just had to put a strip of patterned paper....too much white freaks me out, lol.  Welcome to A. Rose my new follower who I have seen on both my design teams and she has lots of great creations.
I am showing a sample card for Julie's that she has a Santa having a summer drink to relax that she made back in 2014 which is a cutie. And she had a strip of patterned paper on the side.

Pretzel and Beer Birthday

I always seen to be needing masculine birthday cards and I don't have them in my stash. So when I saw the colors of the Color Throwdown I thought they were perfect, which I just didn't get my project done in time. I decided to use my Tim Holtz stamps and a sentiment from TLC, Create. For the background of the beer, I used multiple Copic markers and then the 0 blender after I inked the image to wipe away some of the ink.
