Polkadoodles Challenge- Shaped card/Project

Hi Guys, It must be Friday cos i have that Polkadoodles challenge feeling !! 
 This week the challenge is set by the lovely Fliss.. where she asks us to create a shaped card or project....
To be honest.. with the family bereavement.. my hubby lost his uncle.. and the funeral on Tuesday i was n't expecting to be in time to join the challenge.... 
I have been playing with the new "Pretty Tuff" cd and i am loving it.. this card took no time at all......

the sketch is following the Pink Ink sketch... I have distressed and inked the layers.. added some jute twine.. and the image is coloured with Promarkers... I have used the Ultra Fine Nibs again to add detail, such as on the hair and clothing....

 i think this makes creating masculine cards a doddle.. I love all the elements.. the sentiments are fab.. and it just makes it effortless....
Please pop over and check out the rest of the Dt's cards.. and give the challenge a go yourself.. there is always some fabby prizes..
 I am entering my card in.....
