this worldly gentleman

a blog challenge i haven't played along with for awhile is the take a word challenge blog.  this week the challenge is "gentlemen."  i was hopping along blogland and found a delectable free image at olde curiosity shoppe and i had to use it.  see why?

is he not the BEST?  that look!  i think i kind of love him but know i'd do well to stay away...
so for this i covered neutral card stock with designer tissue paper, tore off a bit of old map and added that, put the image on another piece of designer paper, threw in a few more embellies and added my favorite crow stamp from silver crow creations which i stamped on paper, colored and then cut and glued to this piece.

i would really encourage you to visit the olde curiosity shoppe. it is actually another of generous June from dezinaworld's blogs and she posts free images several times a week.  consider becoming her blog follower and then you can stay up to date on the free goodies.

i very rarely make masculine pieces but i am pleased with this one.
okay, til later.  love to all
