To A Real Gent

Below is a retirement card I made for a special friend of ours, who at the ripe old age of "over the retirement age" has decided that it's time to call time on the daily grind.  He will be a big miss.

Stamps Used were PaperArtsy Gent and sentiment, and Sheena Douglass pub.

I Would like to enter this into:

CRAFT Chellenge - #235 one for the boys

it's all about the vintage - use at least three stamps

MAWT - No Designer papers

Inspired by Liz borer

Liz has been showing us some techniques on PaperArtsy blog this week and here is my take on the "painting with Grunge paste"

I got a size 7 tag and coated it with Egg Plant FF then overlaid this with Haystack, then I painted (I used the handle of the paint brush like a pencil to be honest) the words Trick and Treat in GP.  I then covered the words in Baltic Blue, then over brushed the whole tag with  Pumpkin Soup, followed by Blood Orange and finally Limelight.  I then created a border with TG Royal Amethyst and stamped the sentiment from HPHW01

I am entering this into Dream Valley - Halloween
My Bestes Norge - Halloween
One Stitch at a Time - Boo
The Craft Place - Halloween
