Motorcycle



I've been wanting to do more masculine cards and when I saw this stamp I knew I had to have it. I have seen this diamond plate metal look and knew it would be a perfect match for the motorcycle. I used mostly Stampin Up products with the exception of the embossing folder and the brads. I used ballet blue and black cardstock and inks. For the metal look diamond plate I placed a piece of foil on top of cardstock and ran it thru the cuttlebug embossing folder. The reason I used the cardstock with the foil is to help the foil keep its shape and it worked pretty well. Thanks for looking.

Yoli's Birthday

Well here goes, this is my first post. I used an older Mojo Monday Challenge for my sister-in-laws birthday card and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. When I saw the sketch I knew exactly which paper I wanted to use, its a paper I bought at one of the local craft stores. I used the Happy Moments stamp from Stampin' Up for the sentiment and flower image. For the flower image I first stamped it in SU basic brown and colored it with a blender pen in bermuda bay, pumpkin pie and old olive. Then I stamped the entire image with Versa Mark. poured SU iridescent ice embossing powder over it and heat embossed it. A couple of flowers, brads, glue and its done. Thanks for looking.
