Ruff Day?

Making cards for guys is always a challenge, so I played the current Cardz 4 Guys challenge (see what I did there? :)) which is Man's Best Friend. I pulled out my new-to-me Simon Says Stamp You Are Pawesome set and made this:

I followed the current Kathy's Waffle Sketch File sketch:

though my circle is way smaller since the dog is kinda small.

I used papers from Carta Bella Well Played for the background, and some mystery thin, black card stock for the layers.

This was a pretty simple sketch, and I got to use some really neat papers that are perfect for a guy card. As an added bonus*, when I applied the Enamel Accents to his eyes, I managed to make tiny triangles instead of circles/dots, so the dog looks particularly tired. This is important because it mimics my current sleep-deprived situation, though my fatigue is purely self-induced. I could go to bed on time, or stay up into the wee hours of the morning stamping with Libby, which is what I chose to do. Can you really blame me? :)

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to watch The Mummy Returns and stay up late again.

Thanks for stopping by!

* Is a bonus ever not added? I mean, is there such a thing as a subtracted bonus? Is "added bonus" redundant? This, people, is what happens when I type very late at night. I'm sorry. 

ETA: My card was chosen as one of the top three at Cardz 4 Guys! Wheeeee!

 

Stuff I used: One of the red Copics (I didn't write it down ;/), misc black card stock, and the following:
