I was inspired by a background created with my talented friend Lisa. We had a day of making background with the gelli plate. I had cut one of my backgrounds down to a tag.
I decided the handsome gent made a striking focal point in the bottom left corner. I stamped him using black ink on tissue paper. I decoupaged the image to the surface. I added the clocks in the top right corner using the same method using tissue paper and decoupage.
Hop along for all the fantastic inspiration from the rest of the design team:
I love this, it really caught my eye. If my dad was still here, it would be the type of thing I would have liked to have tried to make for him. It's very "gentlemanly."
