Today it is the birthday of a very good friend of ours. One of his major hobbies is riding one of his 3 motorbikes and I always try to incorporate his hobbies into a personalised card for him.
I recently won a prize from Fred She Said Designs and chose Afternoon Ride as I knew it would make a great card for Pete.
Th image is coloured with Promakers, Flexmarkers and a silver gel pen for the metallic accents.
I used the current Stella Says Sketch 719 from the Catch the Bug challenges
The metallic paper I have had in my stash for years. The motorcycle sentiment is from Elegant Wordart by Bethany. She has created many fabulous word arts over the years and although she doesn't any longer there are still loads of freebies on her blog.
Following the layout I added scraps of card for the banner sections and typed a personal sentiment. All elements are mounted on dark blue sparkly paper. Finally I added some blue star shaped gems to accent.
Card Details :-
Size - A5
Image - Afternoon Ride from Fred She Said Designs

Great masculine card...love how you used the gel pen for your highlights on the metallic, and the bling stars and glitter around the sentiment are nice embellishments... glitzy enough for a man. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble.
