Hi Everyone, a card for my #3 brother, he loved his motorbike but, at 85 is passed riding them now, that doesn't mean he doesn't still like them. Hence, my card today.
I stamped a motorbike and clear embossed it. Next, I used the mask I had already made for this card, and stamped the background mountains and some grass, then die cut it and also a gold mirror card base.
I was going to use die cuts for the age, but I had been reminded recently, seeing a blog using foil with the Silhouette. I hadn't used it for foiling for a long time. So, I went to my Silhouette and designed a circle with an 85, his name, and the sentiment, to foil onto card, also cutting a circle from mirror card at the same time.
I then stencilled tyre tracks with DO onto the base card. I should have made them darker? They show a little in real life.

Great scene with the motorbike and background mountains Faith … makes you think of roaring off into the wilderness, wild and free! Sounds like the perfect choice for your motorbike-loving brother xx
Happy birthday to your brother, I think he will love this card Faith, so personal to him. I hope he had a great day. xx
Great card Faith. I find that sometimes you have too many options available and it's only by seeing something someone else has created to remind you that you too have that product or option. You've done this to me. Thanks. WakeyL
Great card, your brother will love it. Anesha x
That's a very special card for your brother. I bet it prompts lots of reminiscing. I haven't foiled with my scan n cut for ages either. It is always a bonus when it works well, as it did for you here xx
Great masculine card and sounds a perfect memory for your brother, love the embossed motorbike-must admit it is exciting riding a motorbike.

This is a stunning card, Faith. Love your stamping skills.
Great card Faith, my hubby would love this as still has a motorbike although he is only a fair weather rider these days and doesn’t go far xx
Super card Faith, a perfect design for your brother.

"Faith, this card is absolutely stunning! The motorbike and background mountains create such a vivid scene, and the foiled sentiment adds a perfect touch of elegance. Your brother is sure to cherish this thoughtful and personal card.
I like how you colored the scene...kept it soft and not solid so it goes with the black image of the bike.
Wow--a great scene and love that it's personalized for your brother with his love of motorbikes!
A super motorbike card for your bike loving brother. Love your scenic stamping. xxx
This is awesome, Faith. I really struggle with masculine cards, but you have nailed it with this fun card. What an awesome image. Great job and being that it's for an 85th birthday makes it even more special. My Dad's name is also Keith and he just turned 91. He doesn't (ever) ride a motorcycle, but he's a pilot. Retired Col. in the Air Force and he still, at 91, teaching Civil Air Patrol every week and helps "kids" learn to fly. I love celebrating these special people in our lives. I have no doubt that your Keith will LOVE this special card.
Sounds like he will love this card Faith. I love the scene you created behind the motorbike too!
Fabulous card, Faith! I bet your brother absolutely loved receiving it.
I bet Keith loved this, Faith! I love how you created the scene to surround the bike and the foiling is just perfect.
Hope you are well,
Hugs
