I have been eager to ink up my MFT Let's Hear It For the Boys set for quite some time. Finally, went out in search of * wall paper * for the wall of the image. I found a woodgrain, and blue, grey and green manly stripe - and this grey striped Asparagus paper. Well, then I did a search of MFT - and found Waterchild's gorgeous card here...
And more or less cased it as we had similar wallpaper!!
Anyway, cut out all of the images, layered the round rug and chair and guy on one layer, popped up the arm on the chair one more layer, popped the tv up one level, and popped up the beer bottles various layers. Crystal laquered the bottles and the tv screen.
Boy oh boy,, it was a lot of work -but it sure was a LOT OF FUN and I will be making a few more for guys birthday!!!( Maybe this will be my dh valentine???)
Thanks for looking!
