Hats Off Gentleman ....

Hello All ... A quick post from me today to start the week off using my fav three gents in all the world! This week at Sunday Stampers the lurvely Hel's has asked us to include "Hats" in our entry.


I started off by covering the tag in some paper from the Lost & Found stash, then distressing using Frayed Burlap, Walnut Stain & Vintage Photo. All of the stamps by the Duke of Grunge .... Tim Holtz have been stamped with Archival Ink (Coffee).


My fav three gents have been trapped in time using the Weathered Clock Die




I have used my Tonic Studio Paper Distresser tool to grunge the tag up even more and then inked the edges with Walnut Stain. Various Ideaology bits n bobs have been added along with the wooden bingo piece from Maya Road.


I'm also entering this tag in the "Just For Fun" challenge which is Steampunk ...
