WT404 - Brown Paper Packages. We were to create a card using our favorite products. I love vintage, so I love my distressing tool and sponging to give an aged appearance to cards.
As soon as I saw this image, I immediately thought of my TH Visual Artistry set. The arrow reminded me of directions life takes us. I decided to create a subtle collage behind the sentiment (an old car, a clock, and another arrow). And I just felt like "TH Umbrella Man" seemed to be a perfect fit with the sentiment and the vintage papers (a special thanks to Sallie for 'umbrella man')
Thanks so much for taking a closer look, hope you like it

Fabulous card, Barb. Umbrella man die has a better home with you...I never made him look that good! : ) Love the composition of your card, black and cream tones and the collage/vintage effect. You are the Master of Masculine Cards!

Beautiful dp's to go with your silhouette image, Barbie! It appears to me that this gentleman is dwelling on his past life story and maybe wondering if he should have made some changes......

LOVE your card! The papers and distressing are terrific, as well as, the sentiment and of course the dude. I love Umbrella Man so much that I have the die, which I have cut to also make a stamp, and a small stamp version, which I have used on my card today.
