Driving by with a Birthday Hi!

My brother and several nephews are motorcycle enthusiasts, so I'm always looking for appropriate images for birthday cards for them.  Here's another masculine birthday card with a  motorcycle theme.

I found this free clip art image when I did a Google search, so decided to try resizing it for a card. I printed it onto white Bella card stock. PTI's Mat Stack #4 die was the perfect size for the image, so after colouring with copic markers, I cut the die shape and then sponged the edges with black ink.

A small strip of black and white polka dot paper was added to a strip of white card stock before mounting to the black, white and turquoise plaid paper.  The focal panel was attached on top of this.

The sentiment ( from SU's Loads of Love) was stamped onto white card stock, a circle was punched and then mounted onto a Twilight circle. A silver eyelet was added to the sentiment panel so I could attach a piece of baker's twine.

The corners of the card were embellished with photo corners and small metal adhesive dots.

The main card base was made from PTI's True Black, so I needed to add a white panel to the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment from PTI's Big Birthday Wishes and a few images from Grunge Me with Black and Twilight inks for some extra detail. I repeated the Twilight coloured photo corners and sponged black ink on the edges to finish the card.
