Wheels

 


Hello and Welcome
Today's card is one I made for a special friend; a young boy that loves lots of action.  
I thought that this fun image fit the bill.

So here's what I did to create my card.
  • I wanted to make a collage style background for my card.  I pulled out a variety of stamps and 3 ink colours (Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks)
  • I just randomly stamped the various stamps all over my piece of white cardstock, filling in all the areas as I went along.  
  • When I was happy with the stamping, I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the biker with some Versafine black ink.  I stamped it a few times to be sure to get a deep, dark impression.
  • To help make the biker stand out a bit more from the background, I diluted some Salty Ocean Distress ink with water, then watercoloured in the biker.  By filling in the open areas, it helped to make him more visible.
  • I stamped the sentiment along the bottom, glued the panel onto a piece of purple cardstock and then onto a heavy white card base.


Thanks so very much for coming by and taking a look.
I so appreciate you taking the time.
