For the central area, I tore a page out of an old book and covered it with four shades of Distress Oxide Inks to achieve the mottled green look. The colours I used were: Mowed Lawn, Crushed Olive, Twisted Citron and Mustard Seed.
I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the gentleman, which is part of the Hobby Arts "Vintage Plonk - CS186D" stamp set, on to the page and then stamped him again on a piece of white card. I coloured the image on the card using a selection of Distress Oxide Inks and then fussy cut him and glued him on to the book page over the original stamped image.
On a piece of cream coloured card, I stamped the clock and moustache, which are also part of the "Vintage Plonk" stamp set in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink. I then used a Tim Holtz layering stencil called "Dot Fade - THS006" with "Shadow Grey" Ranger Archival Ink around the stamped images.
