Born to Ride

Ok, not me. Not born to ride. I love motorcycles. I love to see them, and watch them be ridden. I even think that bike riders have a bad reputation too. There is so many kind hearted bikers out there. But they are not for me to ride. Thanks to my ex scaring me half to death I'll keep my feet under 4 wheels.

But enough of that. I had to use this set for my 2nd attempt at Reverse Spotlighting. I thought that it would make a great card for a guy's birthday and will keep it in my "stash".

I used my Born to Ride set. I stamped the images with black ink on the orange and tan panels. I then punched out 3/4" and 1" holes. I just thought that 2 different sizes would be a little different. The BG paper was actually a peice that was given to me - it's by EK Success and it's their Harley Davidson paper.

I stamped the saying "just for you" from the Tags & More set and placed 3 copper eyelets in the upper right corner. The lower left corner has a peice of velvet ribbon around it. Ok, I had to add some "girly" to it :)

On the Move

I thought that I'd make a card using Beate's great tutorial on SCS. It is called Reverse Spotlighting. Beate is a great "teacher" and if you have a minute, please check out her blog.

Now, this is the very first time I've done this ~ and I am not too sure that I like this card. I used the set On the Move. A set I've had for a while and it has never touched ink! **gasp!**

To fill in the bare spots on the card I used Fresh Fillers with Pink Passion ink. Now, if a set ever gets a lot of ink it's that one! I just love the little swirls and the little flowers... The telephone I stamped in black ink on the tan CS and Pink Passion. I cut out the Pink Passion phones and used that to mount behind the tan. I layered that panel on to Certainly Celery which was layered on to Chocolate Chip CS. I added the silver eyelet in the bottom corner and the peices of ribbon to each corner.

It's my first try. It's not what I wanted it to look like, but I was in a hurry and thought that as long as I got the feel of doing the card I'd do better next time...
