Men ....

Goodbye April .... Hello May! Honestly where does the time go ... as I'm getting older I am noticing that little ole thing called "Time" just fly by ... anyone else feel like that? Anyway babbling aside ... Hel's (of Ranger U) Hel's has set this weeks challenge over at Sunday Stampers to include "Men" in your work. Having picked up a few fair bits at Ally Pally , I started this canvas off a few weeks ago but never got round to finishing it off ... you know what it's like ... start one thing off ... put it down ... then start something else lol. The canvas was covered using Crowded Attic Paper, then spritzed with my fav Dylusions Ink (Worn Leather).


Using a fair few Dies and Texture Fades I came up with this.... Brolly Man was fed through Vlad using some TSS Metal (Mocha), then re-fed back through using a texture fade, I then sanded some of the metal back and inked with Alcohol Inks

Behind Brolly Man there is more of the TSS Metal which this time was embossed using the clocks Texture fade. Stamps are of course from THE Tim Holtz Collections "Bitty Grunge & Good Thoughts".



Hope everyone is enjoying this great weather over the Bank Holiday weekend. Sitting out in the garden, blogging, feet up and ice cold drinks ... Bliss!
