Lenny Celebrations

I've got a cute little Lenny card to share with you today.  The main image is actually from the Lenny Happy New Year set, but I think he is ideal for a celebration at any time of year.  And wearing his little tie, he seems quite suited to a card for a man.  

I used some gems on the bubbles popping out of the champagne, and cut out the image twice, layering him up on sticky pads.  The sentiment is actually one of my own, but Stamp Fairy have a much better one that includes Lenny's face and so would better match the image.  

Orange isn't really my fave, but I quite like these softer shades and it was the papers which inspired me to try the colour, and I think it is passable as a masculine colour (well, it isn't pink or purple, is it!!)

I've used a Lenny Peeker bear on the inside of the card, peeking over the panel where the handwritten message will go.
