A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog - May 2021


Today sees the start of another challenge over at the A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog.

The topic is always "ANYTHING GOES" and you are allowed unlimited entries into the challenge. 

This month are very welcome sponsor is "Fred She Said".


For my card I have used the image called "Afternoon Ride (Motorcycle)".

When you purchase this image you will get some black-and-white images for you to colour and some pre-coloured images which I can only say are fantastic!!

For my card I used the pre-coloured motorcycle.  I also took the image into Craft Artist and made my own backing paper.

I used a tyre stamp held in my hand so it did not print in a full straight line and instead was distressed.  I tore around the image and inked with Tim Holtz's Vintage Photo distress ink and then also added the tyre stamp around it as well.

I cut out various cogs and brushed over with silver and copper gilding wax.

I then used three layers of card die-cut for the name "Stuart".

I have finished the card off quite simply with a stamped sentiment.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
