Welcome, crafty friends šš»
Today Iām sharing this dapper fella from Timās Gentlemen die set š§„ The DEPTH in the Numbered embossing folder kills me š so fun!
The Backgroundā¦
Started by dry embossing Timās mixed media heavystock with the Numbered folder, then glued it on a small chipboard tag, folding the paper over the edges
Painted with a blend of Walnut Stain, Aged Mahogany and Rusty Hinge, let dry, then used my finger to lightly add Antique Linen over the raised texture (a few layers)
Added a wash of Caramel alcohol ink over the top to grunge it up
The Gentlemanā¦
Used the Gentlemen die set to cut three layers of my guy
Drew on some of my own details for his hat, coat and shoes and cut out before dry embossing a few pieces with the Woven folder
Once all the layers were glued together, gave him a couple good coats of Walnut Stain paint, then rubbed Antique Linen paint over the raised surfaces, followed by a Caramel ink wash and collage medium topcoat
One of a Kind Ledgeā¦
Cut my letters from the Alphanumeric Labels die set and glued them down on two quote chips
Covered with Walnut Stain paint before lightly applying Antique Linen paint to the raised letters (and edges) with my finger
Added Caramel-inked mini hardware heads to each corner
Used a Caramel-inked mini clip to hold my phrase (a fortunate find) from the clippings sticker book
Also inked a larger clock face from the old-school Timepieces set and the number 1 from the Numeric set to go above/behind the ledge
Seen and Noted Clipā¦
Inked these idea-ology pieces with Caramel ink (large hinge clip, chain from a hook clasp, noted word tag, prize ribbon) before linking together and gluing down
Added a remnant rub to the clip (Tim, more remnant rub designs with WHITE sheets, please! šš»āāļø) and a few more Antique Linen highlights, then muted both with more Caramel
Final Touchesā¦
Dyed a few bits of white cheese cloth with Caramel ink, let dry overnight, then tucked in around my elements before gluing
Once everything was glued in place, I added more random grit paste and colored with Caramel ink
Ta-da! Loving this monochrome look and the way the outfit details turned out šš§£ Thanks for looking, happy crafting! ā¤ļø
