DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY :: NEW RELEASE :: VINTAGE PISTOL

Another of my drawings released as a digistamp at Digistamps 4 Joy today is 

VINTAGE PISTOL

but before I show you my card with the image, here's what it looks like with a little editing:


Looks like an early 1800's photograph doesn't it?
Don't you just love the powers of a photo-editing program!



So here's my card:

The image comes as a single pistol, but I used two and flipped and merged to make the pistols cross.  
I coloured using alcohol markers and a white gel pen.

The sentiment is a freebie (my apologies that I didn't save the artist) and in the centre is a punched serrated circle and a legless brad.

I made corners from black gems and a black CS mat was added before I attached it to a white CS card base.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

  7. Awesome card, awesome pistol. Will have to get this for my sons but do not know how to flip and merge. Better learn that first. I see so many things that could be done with this image.
