Old Men or Vintage Man

Well, if you have been over to JFF you will have seen that this week I have chosen something Vintage for the men.

As I am just back from our trip, and suffering jet lag (oh how I suffer and sometimes for about three weeks) I am not doing my usual chat on here instead I am posting my card.


As you can see I have used PaperArtsy stamps from the Man of Numbers range and used my Distress Inks to colour the paper with the man stamped on.  The background paper is Basic Grey, one of my favourites and one which I have been guarding with my life.  Shows what jet-lag does - I have used it!

Now to see what you can all come up with.  Looking forward to seeing your Vintage Men - read what I had to say on JFF before I went away.

Nice vintage man!...or old man? lol
Love the inks and that paper is great. Better used up than hoarded! (I have trouble with that) :)

I know, time just flies by! You're so busy every time you come to CHA and before we know it, you're back on the plane home! so sad!

Maybe next time we can meet up at Olvera street or Grand Central Market in downtown. It's on S Broadway between 3rd and 4th.

Have you been there? Delicious food!
