Red, White and Blue

Hello, thanks for popping by. We are starting a new

challenge on Cardz 4 Guyz, this morning, 

you have two weeks to join in the fun.

#248 Red, White and Blue

Pop over to the blog to see the inspiration from

the DT,  and to check out the details of the challenge.

For my 5" x 7"card, I have used navy and red card

to mat and layer. The bike, from old stash, was heat

embossed with clear EP, onto Black Versafine ink. 

Using my Crop-o-dile, I added the metal eyelets. 

(Sadly you will see I was a bit heavy handed and

squashed a few of them. - Sorry.)

Hoping you and yours are well. Stay safe and

keep on crafting.

I had a play day a short while ago with stencils and my

sheet, I used to die cut for Birthday,
