A new challenge has started on the Gingersnap Creations Blog today and the theme is Pencils.Immediately I thought of that expression "I've seen more fat on a butcher's pencil" (I know, I know! Let's not get started on how my mind works!). Lost Coast Designs came up trumps for this piece, as both the pencils and the 3 waiters (who I turned into butchers) came from their collection. The text was computer printed, the brad was not :)
The pencils were stamped first, then masked off while I stamped the 3 butchers. The aprons were cut from white card, coloured and glued onto the tag. The pencils and background were coloured with promarkers and the tag was lightly edged with Fired Brick distress ink.
Check out the Gingersnap Creations blog to see the fun ways in which the other Design Team members have interpreted the theme! :)
Absolutely wonderful. Am amazed you didn't computer generate the brad, though (tongue very firmly in cheek, lol). Love your humour, the images and your adaptation of them!

ReplyDeleteOh I love this one - it suits my warped sense of humor very well, and the use of non-cute images is pure bonus - and pure genius!
