Motorcycle Mojo

As usual, I waited until the very last hours to post my card for Mojo Monday.  This card also features a new stamp set that will be available in the upcoming Summer Mini catalog.

I made this card for my downline meeting swap this weekend and everyone kept asking about the metal-look.  Well, it is heavy duty aluminum foil that I ran through the Big Shot with the Harlequin Texturz plate.  Cool, huh?

The motorcylce was stamped in Basic Black classic ink onto Whisper White card stock, then colored with Real Red & Sahara Sand markers.  I also added a thin glaze of Crystal Effects over the red portions of the motorcycle to give it some shine.

The other stamp set that I used is Extreme Elements.  I stamped black dots onto the Real Red strip and the splatter onto the Basic Gray background.  It reallly adds a masculine feel to the card.  The Extreme Elements stamp set will be part of a Stampin' Up special offer during National Scrapbooking month (May).  With the purchase of this stamp set, you can receive a set of Designer Brads for free.  You can see that I incorporated the Circle Designer Brad into the card as well.

Customers on my mailing list should be receiving the Summer Mini catalogs in their mailboxes this week.  Email me to let me know that you received your mini catalog and also include a wish list of your 5 favorite new items.  You can also view the catalog online on May 1st and email me a wish list.  I will draw one name at random on May 5th, and the winner will receive a $25 credit towards the purchase of her wish list.

If you would like to receive a copy of the Summer Mini catalog from me, just email me with your information and I will mail one to you as soon as my additional copies arrive.

Happy Stampin'
