School is back in session, the kids are learning their lessons...and the theme for this month’s blog hop is Geography: travel, foreign lands, or exotic colors. With me being a biker, I knew I just HAD to use one of Bombshell’s motorcycle images.
It's so much fun to travel the roads and visit new places on a motorcycle! These bike images are so great...this one that I used- from the Harley Bikes stamp set- is very similar to MY bike, however, I don’t ride a Harley...I ride a Victory Vegas (Harleys’ are over-rated!) :D Anyway...the card base is Stampin’ Up’s now-retired Brilliant Blue. I embossed the card front in the Cuttlebug using the Diamonds in the Rough embossing folder. I then cut out circles using my circle Nestabilities from SU’s retired Marigold Morning, Basic Grey red dotted DSP and a scrap of map (snitched from my dear husband’s road atlas...) The bike image is stamped onto GP110 white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with my Copic markers. The sentiment is from a very old unknown motorcycle set that I’ve had for a long while...both the bike image and the sentiment are popped up using dimensionals.
Now, if you’d like to continue your geographical journey, head on over for a visit with Cheryl, one of our newest design team members. She never disappoints!!
Have a safe trip!

Hey, Mary! Your card totally makes me want to hit the road and feel the wind in my hair! I don't even have a motorcycle, so that's going to be difficult...lol! Maybe I can borrow my neighbors moped ;D
ReplyDeleteAwesome card!
Where do I start??? OK. Love how you cut the bike out. It looks fab! Covet that embossing folder you used! Totally agree that Harley's are overrated! Brilliant idea with the map!!! Great project!
