Krafty Chicks challenge #818 - ATG with a twist

Good morning lovely friends; I hope your week is going well so far. I'm sharing my card for the new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge and this week we are on Week 5; and as it's an extra week this month we have an anything goes theme and I am your hostess. However we are mixing it up this year and adding an optional twist and the twist this time is 'colour an image'. Such a fun and easy theme and we hope you will come over and join in the fun with us.
I was pushed for time this week so went fairly clean and simple.  I've used this fun image before and I love it; such a punny sentiment to go with it too.  I hope you like it.
Here is my card:
A closer look at the details:
Plus I decorated the inside:
I began by die cutting a stitched rectangle from white card and using some yellow ink and a circle stencil created my background (I wanted it to resemble cheese lol!).  I stamped the image onto alcohol marker friendly card and coloured it with my Promarkers.  I don't have any dies for this image so I fussy cut it out.  I stamped the matching sentiment onto white card using black ink and used a sentiment strips die to cut it out.  I die cut a vellum circle to ground the image and adhered them together with foam squares.  I also added foam square to the back of the vellum so that the circle would have some clearance from the background.  I placed it on the left side of the card and trimmed off any of the circle that was overhanging the rectangle.  I also adhered the sentiment with foam squares and finished off with some silver pearls.  I added some scrap white card behind the panel and this was then adhered to the card base with double sided tape.  A fairly simple design but perfect for those difficult males!  For the inside I cut another stitched rectangle and stencilled the circles in the lower third.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink and added another stamped, coloured and fussy cut image to the bottom right corner with liquid glue.  I adhered the panel to the card base with double sided tape.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
