The Gent

Finally got round to inking up one of my new stamps after Christmas is over - this one is the Gent from the new series by Mark Gould, available from Chocolate Baroque.
This fits so well with the eccentric edwardian stamps I mostly used in the background, plus the hat from steampunk travel - or I thought so anyway!
Sentiment is from words of wisdom, also from CB.

edwardian cyclist

 A slightly less grungy card for the cyclist - grey brusho powder background to start with, then hickory smoke distress ink sponged through a cog stencil to finish.
The large cyclist from eccentric edwardian was stamped in bl;ack versafine, and the small cyclist from curiosities was stamped in ghrey versafine.
A die cut corner was added in black card, and the whole card edged with black versafine ink before adding to a white card blank.
The sentiment is from steampunk travel.
