A Day At the Beach for Gus

Don't you just love ole' Gus with his sunburn face, chest and feet.  He's all dressed up in his new "duds" and headin' out for a fun day in the ocean.  Looks like he didn't learn his lesson yesterday, because I still don't see any Sun Screen in his bucket.  I guess he hopes he'll find some good lookin bikini wahini to thrown his beach ball too.

I made this card for a customer who celebrated his 65th Birthday today.  He owns a restaurant/bar on the boardwalk here at Myrtle Beach and he sees plenty of men who look like Gus everyday!  He got a kick out of the card portraying him as "Gus".  If you're ever in Myrtle Beach, stop in at Starvin Marvins for a fabulous burger or wings.  Tell him you saw his card on my blog.  Tell him Linda said to  give you a discount.

You can find the image over at Bugaboo's.  Jodi has some hilarious images to make some snarky cards with.  I colored him with my Copics and used Paper Glaze on his glasses.  I forgot about the Paper Glaze being wet when I snapped the picture so his glasses look a little foggy.  I think it looks like he stepped out of a air conditioned room into a steamy hot summer day.  My glasses always fog up when I do that.   DP is DCWV "The Green Stack" and the cardstock is SU.

I am entering Gus into the following challenges:
