Catch the Bug challenge - Anything Goes

So, you all know how in love with Bugaboo Stamps I am, right? Well, I have gone CRAZY making cards with the images!!! So I thought I better start entering them into challenges before I forget about them!!! So, for June, the challenge at Catch the Bug is ANYTHING GOES. So I am entering this card I made for a friends hubby:


I have used Gus Birthday - Optional.  The inside of this says "Growing up is optional", which totally fits my friends hubby!!  The CS is Bashful Blue and Black (SU) and I used the Diamond Plate Cuttlebug folder for the background.  Black twine, buttons and some sparkly stickers finish it off! I have coloured Gus with Copics. I added some crystal lacquer to Gus' glasses and the headlights of his car!

Thanks for popping by! Have a great weekend!!!
Hugs,
Chris
