Hello and welcome, thanks for your visit. Today at Alphabet Challenges we have reached the letter G. Veronika, on the design team has chosen G is for Gentlemen,  we need to see a Masculine card. To see the inspiration from the remainder of the team, please visit the blog. 

For my card, I began with a white 6" card. I used gold Mirri card for the mat, the background paper, like old cork is from a paper pad. Using a page from a Hunkydory Little Square Book - Here's to Him, I decoupaged the jacket and the shoes. I created using foam tape a blue frame and added a sentiment.
