The Lost Generation

Inspired by MoJo Monday Sketch #194 and the Kraft Journal It's a Guy Thing Challenge, I created a a monochromatic card using this handsome image from the Artistic Outpost Gatsby plate.  I started out with intentions of using the Vintage Art Technique to add color to my image, but things got a little dark, so it's more like Vintage Art meets Burnt Edges!

Stamps - Artistic Outpost Gatsby
Ink - Ranger Black Archival, Ranger Distress Inks - Walnut Stain, Scattered Straw, Wild Honey
Card Stock - Kraft, Black
