Who's drab???????

Hello hope everyone is ok and not too wind damaged.  Its still blowy here in Blackpool but I've risked putting my washing out - if anyone sees any towels go flying by please let me know!!

The perfume party was good last night although I've got a bit of a headache today I think I sniffed too many nice smells!

Well today I have made a card that I will probably give to my husband for his Birthday next month, that is if I don't make another I prefer but then he'll probably get two.  Its not my usual style but it is in the kind of colours that he likes (drab!) and he likes anything old (don't say it!!!!) so I thought this would probably appeal to him:

The papers are by Raspberry Road and the stamp is Paper Artsy.  I have distressed all the edges, I distressed the edges of the paper behind the image with a paper distresser and curled the edges over to make it look  older.  The advert for the Cologne is a download from Twisted Paper (they've got tons of really good images most $1 each) and I've distressed it a bit more. I've distessed the mesh behind the image so it wasn't too bright.  Here is another view:

The key is a Tim Holtz grunge die cut which I have distressed with Crackle Paint and then with Distress Ink on top.  The little clock in the corner I have embossed with Tim Holtz Distress embossing powder as it was bright gold coloured before.  I downloaded a verse for the inside and added it on to more Raspberry Road paper:

I think the photos are a bit on the bright side but I'm not very good with a camera!
