Dirt Bike Mike

Masculine cards are not my favorite, soo when this week I needed to do one of these, for someone who likes motorbikes, I panicked a little bit.... but not when I found the perfect image to use for my card ...
... and followed this fun sketch ....

... using some colourful papers from Echo Park!

Everything seemed to just fall in place, and I had so much fun making it. The image, I'm sure you guessed, is from Kenny K and I coloured it with my promarkers. The banners were a free stamp in a magazine, while I die cut the number 40 with my Die Namics dies. I did all the little hole circles around the card with a small circle punch.

These are my challenges for my card
Kenny K's Krafty Krew 128 -  THE SKETCH
Cards For Men 2 - TRANSPORT
Simon Says Challenge - ANYTHING GOES
Creative Inspirations Wednesday 199 - ONE FOR THE GUYS
Moving Along With The Times - PUNCH IT OUT
Here Come The Boys 44 - BINGO BOARD(die cuts, free, twine)

I also have some exciting news now as this week I did the Top 5 at Cupcake Craft Challenge with my Let Me Fly card. Woo hoo, another new badge for my blog :)
  

Thank you for looking today.

Don't forget to join my candy here.
