Vintage

(Player)

I didn't do much for this week's tag :o)

My son gave me a Ralph Lauren sportswear label

from his new top, and I liked that it already had a 

vintage look, both in its style and 

it was also rather beaten up

(that's TKMaxx for you!).

I stuck torn dress pattern paper to the tag,

and then did a gel transfer with the image of the

young man in sports gear (I have the original photo).

Unfortunately, this didn't work, as both the 

image and background were too dark, grrrr!

Ok, so then I gessoed over the botched transfer

and stuck another copy of the image on top.

I tinted his clothes with Distress Inks

and added his cheeky pink cheeks.

The 'Bleecker' label, 

which was originally stuck on the reverse of the tag,

was brought round to the front

and onto it I stamped 'PLAYER'.

Does this mean he is a 'player'

in the meaning of sportsman

or a 'player' with the lay-dees?!

You choose.  

Thank you for looking,

I'll be round later to have a look at everyone else's.
