Hi friends! Happy Saturday – hope your weekend is off to a great start! I have a fun project to share with you today – a very cool card that could be used for any favorite biker in your life, male or female! I used to be very intimidated by ‘clean and simple’ but am loving this kind of design more and more every day. I won a gift certificate to an online store several months ago and when I saw this rubber stamp set I knew I had to have it – and I knew exactly how I wanted to use it!
I stamped the bike and front sentiment in black ink on Strathmore Bristol smooth white cardstock. I stamped the image and sentiment again in Versamark (right over top of the black), applied clear embossing powder and heat embossed them. I very rarely use colored embossing powders anymore… I like to stamp in colored ink, then stamp right over that in Versamark, apply clear embossing powder and heat emboss. This gets you virtually any color of embossing you could ever imagine! A very cool trick I learned a number of years ago. I trimmed the bike image and layered it on thick black foam for some hefty dimension. I trimmed the sentiment into a strip, layered it on black cardstock and adhered it to the bottom of the focal image.
I kept the inside very simple. I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in black ink and adhered a thin white strip layered on black cardstock across the bottom which added a little interest.
And one more look… super happy with how this turned out!
