Grumpy Old Gent

 


Now and then I get the urge to make a man-card.  I got this new die & EF last week and just had to use them.  I slightly inked the embossed background with DI, and fussy cut the stamped sentiment.  I love this BOLD stamp sentiment which adds to the masculine feel.  I was going to emboss it but thought the raw look was more fitting.   Even though he looks grumpy, I hope he makes someone smile.

Gent die: Tim Holtz

EF: Tim Holtz

Sentiment: unknown

Also: DI's
