It’s Wednesday and time for another challenge over at Frilly and Funkie Challenge Blog!
This challenge is hosted by Jenny (Pushing The Right Buttons), who has chosen the theme BOY OH BOY! …Jenny says, “For this one we need you to create a vintage or shabby chic project with a man or boy in mind. Let’s see those male themed creations come to life.”
Masculine themed projects are right up my street. I went “back” to basics with some simple distress techniques and a time traveler. Here’s how…
Spray distress spray stains onto distress watercolor cardstock, spritz with water and once dry distress and ink the edges.
Mix ground espresso distress reinker and texture paste and spread through a stencil with a palette knife and set aside to dry.
Stamp and fussy cut an image from the time traveler stamp set and watercolor with distress markers.
Add a sentiment from the idea-ology small talk set.
Add idea-ology nail heads with multi medium.
Finally add ephemera and idea-ology mini fasteners as waistcoat buttons. Mount onto paper from the dapper paper stash.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will find time to join in the challenge and pop over to Frilly and Funkie challenge blog to see the rest of the DT’s projects. All the products I used are available from The Funkie Junkie Boutique.

Thanks Jenny. I love the challenge theme. 😉
Oh, that background! I love the marbling and the wonderful hazy blues that pop through the layers of brown. The composition is fabulous, too. I love the trio of metal brads and the watercolored focal image. This is perfection, Zoe!
