Hardly A Harley!

I just love this image, I haven't coloured him up in a while though as I've already used him for most of my Bike Riding family. However, when talking to our neighbour my husband discovered that it's his birthday today and as he rides a rather lovely Motorbike I thought it was a perfect excuse to ink my Marij Rahder stamp up again!

Quite a straight forward card, just a bit of layering up of some papers that I've had squirrelled away for years ,a tag, a brad, some string, some hemp and some inky stitching, card complete.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

CFASCB29, Men,

Crafts And Me 89, Anything goes,

MMCS62, About the boys,

RCC58, Heavy metal,

Try It On Tuesday, Anything goes,

Desmet Designs, Anything goes,

Simon Says Stamp, Show a bit of brown.

In The Pond

I started making this card a few weeks ago,looked at the calendar today and thought I'd best get it finished as it needs to go in the post tomorrow!

The fish are stamps are from the set Suzy 5 by Marig Rahder I coloured them using Copics.
I used this technique to cut the image so that the fishes tail stayed outside the circle

I would like to link you to the post where I found an amazing technique to colour water but I'm afraid I haven't time to search this evening so I'll just link you to the amazing Blog instead.

The Greeting was a case of masking the letters on 2 stamps to come up with the correct spelling!

This card is for the following challenge:-

Crafty Pad challenge 76,
