" G " IS FOR GENTLEMEN..DT

 Hello everyone,

It's LITTLE RED WAGON  time and a new challenge with our lovely hostess Imke and her theme is a fun one.. " G " - for gentlemen..


i had a fun day making backgrounds on tags by using tissue papers
 that have been printed on so the job 
has already been done for you..


added die cut tab tops and inked around the edges..


then die cut, in black ,a man and die cut again in red to get the details to add.


See..


back to the tags as the glue was nice and dry, and time for stenciling..


Letters


script


and a couple of others and set aside to dry..


after each time stenciling with modeling paste, I drop the stencils in a warm water container
right next to me..just to be sure.



then, 
time for these powders, not my favourite,
 but have so many of them I needed to use some up..


so sprinkled them on and sprayed water on and let them do their thing..


shiny ..


these hats were before I bought my die hats, so they were printed, then fussy cut and covered with black pens.


then I added gold details..


nuvo drops for the dots..


Die cut some TH men and have everything together now..


On they went..


added big numbers..


sentiment strips.


and tried to zoom in, but I cant read them...good luck..


so there we go....come and join in with us HERE
any type of project you want, anything at all, 
as long as it is Gentlemen or masculine 

Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx
