Good morning! Bit by bit, it's getting a little cooler and today we have some sunshine, but tomorrow it's supposed to rain. I'm not complaining though....at least it's not snow and winter gear. Just need to get past the next 5 or 6 six months until it warms up again.
So today's card is for someone who will soon have to put his bike away for winter. A lovely vintage image from Just Inklined, titled James Machine. Should bring a smile....although the sentiment fits, the motorbike and riding gear have changed big time!
Once again, I played with my copics and the 'out of the box technique', along with the Spellbinders Label Two die for the image. The papers are from the Basic Grey Clippings collection, and I've dressed it up with a couple of patterned tapes. These worked out great for the masculine theme...no ribbons!
I hope you enjoyed your visit, and perhaps you can get outside and enjoy a few days of fall weather before the winter sets in. Finger crossed, that we get a mild one this year!

A fabulous vintage style card Joyce and a great sentiment. It rained very heavily here this morning with thunder and lightning thrown in, but the temperatures are still mild for the time of year. Have a great week ahead.
