One for the Boys


This week over on the PanPastel challenge blog their theme is 'one for the boys'.  The card was run through T!m's brick texture fade and coloured with various colours of pan pastels.  I die cut the umbrella man and gave him a honeycomb umbrella.  The nestie was die cut and stamped with T!m's quote.  The edges were lightly coloured with distress ink.


This week Simon says stamp & show has the theme of 'anything goes' so I am also entering this piece into their challenge.
