It's the weekend....are you having fun yet! I'm hoping for an uneventful weekend, with no hospital stays or visits. Hopefully I'm not asking too much! Keeping my fingers crossed. All being well, we should be having some fun family visits too!
I'm sure this card will make you smile, or at least the story behind it..... Last year my brother and his wife celebrated their 25th anniversary, and she was hoping for something bright and shiny. Not quite what she had in mind! (lol) Hopefully, this year she will graduate from the parking lots and they can enjoy some rides in the country. Anybody else out there with their own motorbike? (or a brother like mine? ha ha).
This is another fun image from Just Inklined, called Hell for Leather. Coloured with copics, and a bit of chalk for some sky, I've played with some pink and purple shades for a feminine touch. Then, some silver stenciling and black flourishes to go with the biker theme. I won't bother mentioning the DP, as I've altered it so much it really isn't recognizable....but it worked!
The large stamped sentiment is a new one for me, from a Technique Tuesday set...Simply You, while the smaller one was a freebie from Stampdictive.
Hope you have yourselves a lovely weekend! Maybe, go for a ride in the country...
