Bah Humbug

Evening all,
Well it's a cold, wet, windy evening here.  Hope you are all well and keeping warm.
Do you know the feeling when you see an image and instantly know that it is meant for one particular person?  This happened to me when I saw some images on the Dude Time Doodles blog.  I saw two images by Bonibleaux Designs that instantly made me think of my husband.  Now I am not saying that he is a misery but Christmas does not always bring out the best in him.  His favourite saying at this time of year is Bah Humbug!!
This card is for my daughters to give to him.

Now I couldn't decide which image to use so used them both to create a double twisted easel card.
The images are both coloured with promarkers.  Decided to keep the overall design quite simple as it is a male card.  So no fancy frills or bows.

As the finishing touch to this image I added some twine and gems around the outside.  I am hoping it looks a little like some twisted fairy lights but I will let you be the judge of that.  Also added some glamour dust around the edge.

This is the second image which has just had some gems and glamour dust added.
On both images I added some fancy corners cut out of glitter card.
The sentiments were typed out on the computer and matted onto green cardstock that I cut out using dies on my big shot.  Finally added a strip of green card to the front which had a merry christmas peelable sentiment ribbon put on it.

I think it will put a smile on his face when he receives it.  Well, I hope so anyway lol.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
