Yep, I'm sneaking in on team Abi's week again over at Sweet Stampin', because it is one of my favourite themes... And convenient for me, as the theme is Masculine, and I just so happened to need a card for my grandfather's 91st birthday next week!
So naturally, out came the Tim Holtz supplies...
I inked up the background using a stencil and Fossilised Amber and Vintage Photo Distress inks, and then heat embossed it, flicking off bits here and there to create a pitted, distressed effect. I then inked the part the stencil had been covering, plus the "flicked off" bits with a darker colour. I LOVE the effect! I added a little extra by colouring in his waistcoat with a distress marker, just to make it stand out a little more.
The stamp and sentiment are of course also Tim Holtz.
I hope you'll come play with us this week!
Have a fantabulous day!

Amazing, Sammy! You have achieved such great depth with the coloring! If you made this larger, wouldn't it make a cool canvas to hang on a wall?! Happy 91st Birthday to your grandfather!! Whoot! Hugs, Darnell
