Biker Boy

Another male card for a bike lover. I couldn't find a digi of a Moto GP bike that I liked so choose this dirt bike from Kenny K instead. I created my own worded background using the names of Moto GP riders in Taxedo and fussy cut the circle. I simply added some coordinating backing paper and distressed a sentiment from Craftwork cards using Tim Holts Evergreen Bough.

RIP our 20's

And so it's begun! The first of my closest friends has turned 30 and we are all soon to follow :(

So in the spirit of this tragic event I have made her a Halloween themed birthday card. I chose this fun Halloween Digi from Meljen's which I coloured up using ProMarkers. I found some great coordinating papers from Michele R Designs which I matted and layered onto black card.

 

 

One of the papers had the spiderweb on so I printed that sheet on to swirl vellum from HOTP and fussy cut it as an element to the card. I used the same vellum for the birthday sentiment. I used velum to give the card a peek-a-boo effect, still allowing you to see the image and paper behind it. Finally I added a three gemstones to finish it off.

Paper - Halloween 6x6 digital papers by Michele R Designs & Paper Pizazz HOTP Vellum Swirls

Sentiment - typed by me using Chiller font in Word
