A Distressing Grungy Monday Challenge 3

Yes, as you have probably guessed I have once again combined the Challenges from Linda at Studio L3
&

Linda's challenge being Ranger Adirondack Color Wash
& Simon's being Show some Distressing.
I used the color wash and Tim's Distress inks to make the background that I then ran through one of Tim's new Texture fade to create a timely card for a buddy's birthday next week. I also used Tim's new Umbrella man die to form a masculine silhouette. I hope he likes it.

  10. Your background came out great! And I think you are our resident master of creating masculine cards, something many of us see as a challenge. And how can you go wrong with umbrella man?

  14. I LOVE this, Stephen! It's bold and elegant and the Color Wash looks amazing-- I don't know how you got that perfect lemon-lime look, but it's brilliant, my friend! Umbrella Man looks fabulous as he gazes across time...
