This card will be for a family member who is turning 42 in the Fall. He works in the music industry so I think the artsy look of this will appeal to him (he also is a musician himself,,,,electronic music...it's weird). I took a reject gel print which just had purple and black on it and just wasn't doing anything for me....until...I sponged yellow DO ink on it...BAM! I was hunting around for something to put on the newly revived bg...I dug out this vintage TH boy and thought he was perfect. He was leaning though and I didn't have a stamp big enough with something he could lean on. Enter a Papertrey fence die...which I cut 3x to elongated in order to fit the boy. I added some chunky ep and novo drops and doodling as extra stuff. Of course I stamped the greeting a bit crooked but..you can tell this was a handmade work of art That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Wonderful bg, love the vintage boy leaning on the fence and the fabulous sentiment which really does look terrific slanted, Polly! Had I seen this sooner it would have been in my Favourites - a real mixed media brilliant Polly card!!
