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!
Stamps: Artistic Outpost; SteamPunk, Industrial Backgrounds

Came back as realised I had missed that fab photo of you and Brenda. Some serious shopping going on there.... x
Love, love, love the way you did the background on your card, Terry. It makes a sensational backdrop for your wonderful stamped images! And the bottle cap die cut with the Gentlemen's Choice seal is fantastic. Super take on the hop theme!

This is a fabulous card Terry with great images to represent the male theme. Love the crinkled background and the bottle top worked perfectly. Great photo of us both, TFS.
I can't believe it's our last day, where did it go?
Take care.
