Two of my sisters are visiting me at the moment and we had a fun evening last night watching the TV series 'The Good Wife' on DVD until very late - lots of fun! Gave me a chance to play along with a few challenges while I watched... {grin!} I finally managed to ink up the fabulous motorcycle stamp from the mini catalogue today - it is so detailed and just perfect for guys' cards! I used the Colour Throwdown colours - white + navy + one other colour - I chose Pumpkin Pie. I used one one the Viva la Verve sketch challenges from this month for the layout.
The DSP is from the Sweet & Sour DSP - it has a glossy print on it so I sponged around the edges with Pumpkin Pie ink so the glossy flourishes would pop a little more. The white background was embossed with the Square Lattice embossing folder. I added some Pumpkin Pie brads as well as Pumpkin Pie ribbon - to achieve the frayed look, just trim the long edges with ribbon scissors then pull some threads out either side. I tied a bit of linen thread around the bottom to gather it. The sentiment is from Party this Way and punched out with the Word Window punch.
That's all for now - I'll be back in a bit with another card from last night's marathon tv/crafting session!
