Freddie Strongman... By Hels Sheridan

Morning Peeps... just a little quickie post from me today - first of all... I made an ATC the other day using a sketch from The Compendium of Curiosities... and some Tim Holtz stash. The backing papers are from the Retro Grunge stack and I used the strongman from The Big Top set - I know I have said this before but... doesn't he look like Freddie Mercury!





The letters are Grungeboard and coloured with Distress Ink and then overstamped with another Tim stamp to add some text. The backing paper was covered with Rock Candy Cracklepaint and I added some Idea-ology - a Type Charm, Jump Ring and Mini Safety Pin and a bit of Film Strip. Freddie Strongman was coloured with Tattered Rose Distress Ink which is a fab flesh tone colour. I personalised this ATC with a Type Charm as it was for a friend... however... I have another here, just waiting for an initial ;O))... so, if you would like to own it, please just leave me a comment and I will pick a name at random next Wednesday, September 29th '10. Thanks for looking... have a fab day ... and hope to see you this weekend! TTFN

    I would love to win an ATC made by you. As I have started rehab to lose weight and strengthen my knees (osteoarthritis) this ATC would be a great reminder to keep me on track. I want to lean and mean, uhh strong. :)

    I'm STRONGLY motivated to try using tattered rose as a flesh tone right now! I didn't realize that it could work as flesh. You do like this little strong man and it's fun to see what you do with him.

    Freddie's looking good today, Hels. I think he needs an H for Helen.

    And there was me thinking he was based on Arthur Saxon, part of a strong man act who were the men in leopard skins often associated with that type of image even today.
