Crafty Catz Challenge #282 ~ Stitching real or faux

Good morning well over at Crafty Catz our fabulous Christine has chosen the theme for the week and it's 'Stitching ~ real or faux' nice easy one then and we have an awesome sponsor too

For my card I have used a fabulous Gus image, gotta love Gus!  This one is called At My Age and the sentiment comes with the image.  I have used copics and spectrums to colour the image, background papers are Raspberry Road Designs and soem black cs.  The little bucket and spade have been cut on the cricut and i added faux stitches round the image, a few gems and some ribbon.  Kept it flat as it's gone in the post to my dad.  Dad's dress sense has never been the best to the extent we refused to take him out with us unless he got changed!  He has improved I hasten to add! lol  The camouflage shirt is in recognition of his time in the Army, hope it's not too subtle for him!
