Passion for Promarkers Challenge #169

It's time for another Passion for Promarkers Challenge and this time the theme has been chosen by Heidi - 'For a young man/youth'
When it came to choosing an image, there was no contest - I headed straight for one of the fabulous D'Arcys Diary images 042 'Deep in thought'. You can find him and his pals HERE!
I've used Kraft cs bought from Forget-me-Not in Belfast
The backing papers are from the Tim Holtz collection - Vintage Shabby
The sentiment is computer generated
The arrow is from a Tim Holtz Artistry set ' The Journey'
The crown die cut is from the Tim Holtz 'Heart Wings' Alteration Bigz die
The edges of the layers have been distressed and inked with walnut stain distress ink
The wee label die is from the Die-Namics Mini Tab Quartet


I quite enjoyed the whole distressing thing with this one. It's marvellous just how satisfying it is to do. The sentiment was generated on the computer using the 'Typewriter' font
The image was coloured with Promarkers
Skin - ivory, blush, vanilla, oatmeal
Hair - Sandstone, Caramel, Burnt Sienna
Jeans - Powder blue, denim blue and midnight blue
Shirt - Satin, tan, cinnamon
Jumper - Ginger, Spice, Terracotta
Jacket - Cocoa, Chestnut, Walnut
Shadows - Ice Grey 3

Do come over and join in. There's a fab prize from Letraset for the winner and, not to be sniffed at, a super Passionista badge for the top five!
Look forward to seeing you there. 
I've entered this one into the I love Promarkers Challenge which is 'A Male theme'. 

Have a great day!

Great card, I really like all the detail of the embellishments and the distressing looks fab.

I've never heard of these digi's before I'm going to check out the site.

This young man image is fabulous and a great card a fabulous layout too.
I can't leave a comment on the Hero Arts card as it has all merge to this card so I will have to say it here.
I love it, great colours and it is all fabulous. I only have a cuttlebug so I will just have to drool over your card.
