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.

Mixed Media TMR

 My card today is for -

  

 The Male Room Challenge

In a way, a lot of my cards, without thinking, are mixed media, being asked to do mixed media got me in a panic, but this is what I came up with. 

stamping, stencilling paste, dry and heat embossing, die cut.

For mixed media, I read somewhere you just go with the flow and use different techniques.  As I have here. I agree it's not one of my best, but I was short of time for the challenge.

I stamped the bike, then added paste, homemade, by mixing some PVA glue and water with talcum powder,  through a stencil. Next the card was dropped into wet paint onto my glass mat, then I splattered the background, with the red ink. After drying it, I added the sentiment onto the card. 

Next I went looking for an embossing folder I was sure I had, but couldn't find it, so although it's a "hessian" background, it added texture. I then stamped a sentiment onto the same red card, gold embossed it and die cut it. It was added to the card below the main image. I made lots of mistakes with this card, but, I hope you think it worked out OK.

Motorbike stamping

 Hi Everyone, I saw a stamp on someones blog and had to buy it, we have a few old bikers and new bikers in our family, so thought it would come in useful. 

I stamped the bike then die cut it. I looked through everything to see if I had some tyres, the only thing I found was this frame, which is an image from a digi kit. It was sized it to fit behind the bike die cut, in Photoshop, then printed out and fussy cut. 

Some silver card was embossed and die cut from the same set I did the motorbike layer. I inked both die cut layers around the edge. They were all layered and attached to the base card. I then stamped the sentiment die cut it and 3D'd it to the corner of the bike stamp layer.
