Hitching A Ride....

Good morning everyone,
My card today is for my brother John, he loves his bike and keeps wanting to take me for a spin on the back!!  I think this is the closest I am going to get on the back of any motor bike lol!!!  I have used this lovely image from Johanna Sheen which I coloured with my Prisma Pencils.   I think I might of gone a bit over board on the Tim Holtz distress inks!  I am trying to think outside of the box a little and not be too scared to be a little more daring with myself, if you know what I mean lol!!  I have also used my curved border die again.. I just love it and have been experimenting with different options.  I think this is one of my favourite dies at the moment, it can give such lovely effects.




 A peek at the inside


The papers are the fabulous 'Wellington' pack again, I can honestly say these papers have just been the best ever buy! the twine and little motor bike are from my stash, I think they were from the hobby house.. not sure as you pick up so many bits and pieces and then forget where you bought them lol!!

  30. What a great image! I also like the strip of kraft paper with metal charm - it gives the illusion of a motorcycle on the road and movement on your card! SO nice!
