One for the Men by Helen Chilton

I've made a card with Fathers' day in mind (a bit early, I know) or just for a masculine birthday.
I've made a basic Gel Press background using paints and stencils. As I was working on kraft card, I've started off with white paint:
Then I just brayered on some of my favourite Teal:
You'll get at least two impressions.
Then I thought a bit of 'zing' was called for so added yellow:
Particularly like the one on the right:
Add a touch of red with a smaller stencil...
...and the background's ready.
I embossed in black here to make it stand out:
and then added some figures and painted metal embellishments.
Supplies:
That's Crafty! 8ins x 8ins Stencils: Plaid, Cogs and Gears
That's Crafty! Dinky Stencils® and Masks: Dinky Lines
Tim Holtz Paper Dolls Die-Cuts - Vintage
Once you start making these backgrounds it's difficult to stop - I've now got a collection for later projects!
