Birthday Card with my Favorite Male Image

I've used my favorite male image for this card - "Brothers" from Mo's Digital Pencil. The reason I love it so much is that the boys remind me so much of my two youngest nephews, now aged 4 and 5 1/2. I've colored the image using ProMarkers. I rarely use blue colors, so this is my take on a blue, brown and white card! The blue papers came free with 2 different magazines last year, and the brown one is a leftover. I panelled the papers on kraft. The inspiration for this design is the the sketch over at "Seize the Birthday". I added a stamped cloud and a fence created with a Marianne Creatables die. The sentiment is rub on with a birthday greeting in Norwegian.

This card is entered in these challenges:
1) Seize The Birthday - #2 Sketch + Masculine
2) Here Come The Boys - Bingo (blue+die cuts+patterned paper)
3) 2 Sisters - #127 Brown, White & Blue
4) Send a Smile for Kids - Anything goes 4 Kids
5) Moving Along With The Times - Happy Birthday
6) Fab 'n' Funky - Get Moving
7) Glitter n Sparkle Challenge Blog - #16 Sentimental
8) Card Crafter's Circle - #58 Layers
9) Make it Monday - Anything Goes

This is just the most adorable card. Your colouring is perfect and the DP just right for this card. The little fence is just right with this image.

This image evokes such strong feelings of the love between them...
Today, when DH left to walk Miss C to school, she came running back from the door cuz she forgot to kis and hug her brother goodbye. He was so happy that she came back, that he ran over and rehugged herand gave her another kiss goodbye in the doorway...his kisses are only for her and his \mum...not for Grandma's and Grandpa's...sigh
