Sketch Saturday #397

Hello Everyone! 
I'm back for this week's card for the Sketch Saturday #397. Its 5th Saturday of the month and so that means ... you are free to pick any sketch from the past sketches between sketch #215 to #396. The sketch I followed is sketch #295

The sponsors for this week are The Paper Shelter

So lets have a look at the card now

This was a rather challenging card for me as I have very little experience with image coloring. The image I used is from The Paper Shelter - Casual Boy. As this was a masculine card, I used pattern papers from The Mind's Eye - Boy Crazy 6x6 paper pad to create the background. I also tried to color the image in a similar color theme. Finally the sentiment Stampendous - Birthday Assortment set.
You can also find rest of the Design Team inspiration and also the Challenge Rules HERE. We hope you will play along for a chance to win the prize from The Paper Shelter !

I hope you all liked my card. I would love to hear back from you all. Thank you very much for taking your time to notice it. Hope to hear again from all of  u soon. Till then take care. :)

PS: If my posts inspire you to create something on similar lines, I feel highly flattered. But please, do respect the effort I take in conceptualizing and executing, please give a direct link to my work when you are inspired by mine. Thanks for understanding :-)
