A Card For a Friend

Well I thought long and hard on this one. What image to use? Something for a bloke who has a lot of style and is a fabulous artist. Had to be this one...... in my opinion. Captain McSteeme from Rick St Dennis' Etsy shop.
A scan of the image always picks up the colour better than a photo - the light here is just so temperamental.

Coloured with promarkers with just a hint here and there of metallic paint. I masked off the image and brushed vintage paper distress ink all around.
I was in such a rush to get this card into the post, I didn't realise how distorted the colours were in the photos. Oh well

Papers - Some DCWV, heirloom stack (the dark brown) and some BoBunny, et cetera collection (the yellow) matted onto pearlised copper and a stripy base layer (Southfield Paper) all mounted onto the card base,


Some diecut swirls and cog wheels,some brown and copper pearls and last but by no means least - a screw brad.
The stamped sentiment is inside.
I hope the quality of the pics won't be held against me.
