Motorbike Birthday

Happy Wednesday and Happy Birthday to my sweetie Mike.

I sent out another family challenge to Barb and Judy and they have once again agreed to joining in the fun. This time around the technique challenge is Joseph's Coat, see the video below.

I chose to make Mike’s birthday card using this technique. I created the background using different shades of grey and even added in some Frost and Pewter shimmer spritz. I then heat embossed with motorbikes stamps and clear embossing powder, I must admit I had no idea where I was stamping :) as I could not see the versamark once it was stamped but to my amazement I only overlapped in one small area. I then used Memento black ink to colour in the background, I like how it turned out although it is hard to see the background patterned behind the bike details.
 

 

For the center panel I heat embossed the motorbike with clear embossing powder and again inked the panel with black. I also added a little texture with an embossing folder.

The white of the twine was a little too bright so I ran blender tool with black ink over it a few times to ‘dirty’ it up a little. I used a small ribbon guide with the twine then finished with the sentiment.

 

Supplies: Natural white, black and silver card stock, Stampin' Up!-Birthday Whimsy, Great Impressions - Motorbike, Inkadinkado-Motorbike, misc twine, Shimmer Spritz - Frost & Pewter, Making Memories ribbon guide, embossing folder.

 

Stop by Barb and Judy's blogs to see what projects they have created using this same technique.

 

Cheers,
Nina
