The card base is a 5x7 blank with the front cut back, I've decorated the inside and outside with Papermania Heritage Press papers, I've used the same pack for the shirt and tie too, they're a godsend for male cards. I cut out and decoupaged a circular element of the patterned paper, top left, for added interest.
The jacket topper was made with Mum's fabulous Xcut gents suit die set, I cut the jacket from Core'dinations, and used foam pads at certain points of the layering and flat glue at others for a bit of realistic dimension, I also added Glossy Accents to the lenses of the glasses for a realistic touch.
To finish my card, I added a couple of buttons and a stamped sentiment, done with a Papermania stamp.
