An intriguing blog post title eh????... well
Less is More's Masculine themed challenge this week has got me kissing stamps together to make this rather vintage houndstooth armchair for a guys card :0) I thought it would pair up perfectly with this Paper Smooches
sentiment although with the trend for retro nowadays you would probably find this in households of all ages!!!..I wouldn't mind one *wink*
The houndstooth pattern is from a new set by Paper Smooches called
Kissables and its inked up in Early Espresso, the chair is inked in Crumb Cake. After the 'kissing' and stamping I reinked the chair with more crumbcake using a dauber so I could select the areas that needed more shadow and then re-stamped over the image...easy to do with solid shapes :0) I'm loving the sentiment... just about the fun side of cheeky I reckon!!! Now I need to decide if I can get away with it for my Mums birthday card this week *wink*...perhaps for the inside!!!
Thanks for stopping by :0)
