...is a man trying to take all the credit! Or so my twist on the original saying would have it. You know what they say, many a true word spoken in jest!
The theme over on the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge this week is "backgrounds". I loooove background stamps, such a great way to give quick texture and dimension to a project. I lucky enough to get several of the Darkroom Door background stamps for Christmas last year, and I've used the woodgrain one here, stamped twice, once horizontally and once vertically.
I coloured the background with Promarkers and then stamped the Dina Wakley Silhouette Script figure. The man was stamped separately on another manilla tag and coloured with 5 shades of warm grey. His watch and collar were highlighted with a white pen then he was cut out and fixed in place.
The ticket is a Memory Box stamp and I hand-drew the lettering on it then cut it out and fixed it in place. There ya go, that's all there was to it! :) Looking at this now, two weeks after I made it, I love how richly detailed that woodgrain in the background is!
Supplies I used included:

Hi Dan, your background looks just like planks of wood to me, I love it. Love how you used the silhouette in the background. The handsome chap in the foreground looks fabulous, I have to say your colouring is fabulous. Fantastic sentiment. Tracy x x
