I sent a few cards for publication a few weeks ago and this one didn't make the cut. You probably can't tell from the picture, but the mustache has fuzz on it! I stamped the mustache in Basic Black Craft ink, pourred Heat 'n Stick on it, melted it and added velvet flocking on it. It looks very cool, if I may say so myself!
The background paper is from the First Edition pack, and the Poppy Parade paper came from the Just Eat Cake pack. The sentiment, which was heat-embossed with black powder, was pulled from the Delightful Dozen set and I used a die from the Lots of Tags set to mat the sentiment. The trick to getting a double oval mat like I did is to handcut the center of the die following the dotted line (Vanilla) and add a mat (Black) punched with the Wide Oval punch. I added black satin ribbon and black glimmer brads and I was done.

Cindy, I just might have to CASE this card for my husband, who's always had a mustache that I wish for every year he'd shave it off (I really don't like it and I think that alone encourages him to keep it!!) I love the First Edition DSP here and the ribbon straight down the middle. Great job! Thanks for sharing,
Marnie
