Well its that time again!!!
I adore this Motorcycle image from the All Guy set by Lizzie Anne Designs, and the sentiment is Simply Sentiments. Its an AWESOME guy set. I made this card for Jason’s friend. He was turning 29!
I have used this set a while ago as well so here is a link to the cards from then. I hope it gives you more ideas.
The technique I used on this is called the “Donna”. Its when you stamp an image, then without re-inking keep stamping it closely together. I barely move the stamp and do it rather quickly. This makes the motor cycle seem to be in motion.
The bike was stamped (using Pallette ink in black), colored (with my Prismacolor markers), cut and layers 3 times. Each time cutting a different section for a more realisitc look.
I made the cloud coming out the back by using my 3/4 hole punch, and making a mask! Cool huh? Then just sponged some Saharah sand ink.
The patterned paper is by Imaginisce the Black Tie Optional collection.
I stitched ribbon is from www.ribbonsandbowsohmy.com
My card is 6 x 4 1/2. I hope you try the sketch and love it! I thought this card was REALLY cool, as did all the guys at the party. You know you have a winner when a group of men OOGLE a handmade card! ;D

This is a great card! I’m totally lovin’ it! I love seeing “manly” cards as I’m always at a loss in creating them. Cool effect with the Donna technique = I’ll have to give that one a try. TFS!

Awesome card for a guy! I love those two black & white papers you used, and how you stamped the image! The eyelets match perfectly too! Great card!
Oh my gosh……what an awesome stamp. I NEED that stamp to make my husband’s birthday card. I need to shop. I buy mostly Stampin’ up but I need to make a few exceptions lately it seems. There are so many good company’s out there. Thanks for sharing this!

This is just too cool for a guy. Perfect.
My little boys loved this one! I wonder if I could do that technique with the tractor in the By Land set by stampin up? Make it look like “tractor tippin” from the movie Cars?
Wow, SUPER card! Love the technique!
