Good morning dear friends and fellow bloggers. I hope everybody is "Tickety Boo", as Mrs Duck is wont to say!
I was asked to make a card for a gentleman who will be 85 this week. He still has a real love of motorcycles and has a good sense of humour so I thought this might be okay.
My Card
Recipe
6" x 6" card base made from Dovecraft silver card stock
Red card from stash
Industrial Grunge metal digi papers from Cardmaking Downloads
Papermania Chronology Cogs and Gears dies
Computer generated sentiments
Promarkers to colour.
I have had the digi image for a few years now and it was still in its zipped file, but there was no name or other information with it. I had a feeling it was a Just Inklined image so I checked the website and there it was. Seems strange that there is no reference to it in the zip file received. Two sentiments are included - Born to be Wild and Free Spirit but since I wanted the sentiments to match I computer generated them using Staccato font. I then just added some black pearls into the cogs.
Luckily my friends were pleased with the card and they say Ken will love it, so that's okay. I also put a quote inside (I do love my quotes!) which said " A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams" which is by John Barrymore.

This is a super card Christine, perfect for the occasion. Carol x
Oh what a delightful card for an 85 yr old! I think it is just hiliarious and cute as can be (not to mention so well executed with the design & colors. Also a perfect embossing folder for the background! ) I bet he split a gasket when he read the sentiment. Very well done, Miss Christine. Anytime a card brings a smile, you know you've done your effort well. TFS & Happy wkend.
Good morning Christine,
I just LOVE your brilliant card. Background, image and sentiment are perfect.
Bet the man receiving it was "tickled pink" that it was made "just for him"
Have a great day
