Terry's: Masculine

Wednesday, May 15, 2013

A Man Among Boys!

It is a Blog Hop at Artistic Outpost with a "Masculine" theme! With Father's Day fast approaching and graduations, you never know what might just inspire your imagination! Follow the hop Gerrie, Lisa, Sue, Tracy, Linda, Alison, Terry (Me) and Kate, to see what the rest of the design team has for your viewing pleasure.

Nothing speaks more manly to me than the "SteamPunk" collection with the "Industrial Backgrounds." All main images were stamped with Coffee Archival and heat set. The Gentleman had a little extra inking help to add a little color and we popped him up.

I could not believe the "Gentleman's Choice" was a perfect fit for Tim's new "bottle cap" die and I stamped it dead on center with the first try!

Can't you almost hear the whistle blowing?

The background was done by wrinkling up card stock, highlighting the raised areas, running it through the crimper in both directions and then I bleached stamped the gears.

Hope you enjoyed today's visit as much as I enjoyed your stopping by! There is still two week's left to join in the "May Monthly Referral Program," so ink up those AO stamps and join in!

Brenda and me wrapping it up on Saturday!
