Well, to be honest I'm not sure if Hawg is that into the Back Alley Kats' music or if he just fancies hanging out with some pretty biker chicks! He's glad to get an outing today - DH is a bit of a bike snob, and since he and his best friend both ride Ducatis I'm not allowed use this stamp on cards for either of them. I was glad I had something for today's TPT challenge, since Americana doesn't figure largely (make that at all) in my stamp collection. He earns me extra cookies too, which I don't need since I just made up a batch of peanut butter cookies last night when another biker friend of DH's was around.
5 3/4" square base. Blue Bazzill, DP is Basic Grey Aspen Frost.
Image stamped on watercolour paper with Versafine Black. I masked it, stamped the sign, masked that and stamped and sponged the background (Versafine Olympia Green for the bushes, then Forest Moss, Tea Dye and Stormy Sky distress inks. Dirt stamped in with Frayed Burlap.
Image coloured with distress inks ~ tattered rose, faded jeans, festive berries, soot black, tea dye, forest moss, stormy sky, old paper, frayed burlap, scattered straw, plus H2Os for the bike.
I finished it off with a HA sentiment and two red snaps.

Sabrina, this is wonderful, and totally unexpected from you. I just have to say, I'm wondering how "hawg" and its Georgia cousin "dawg" sound with an Irish accent.

Sabrina, this is the perfect image for this week's tea party - I wish I had seen it the last time I got some TA stamps - Your coloring with the distress inks is amazing and the bushes you made in the BG make a great landscape! Love how the red DP frames this out so nicely!!
Guess your hawg is learning to love the Alley Cats music - he's SMILING, and so will Becky!!
