What a guy!

Good afternnon all.  OMG I am having the worst day!  My computer died last night, just cut out and did some majorly weird stuff.  New it was on the fritz but thought I had a bit more time.  Anyway, I have managed to start it this morning and am trying to back up all my beloved digistamps.  NOT GOING WELL!!!!.    I need a miracle!  any one got one going spare? 

I am going to try and post this card as I am actually on here but If it doesn't load properly bear with me please!

I have used a dotty embossing folder for the background and trimmed all the corners with a corner punch.
You may have noticed the image is not coloured, this is for a specific challenge at My partner in crafting crime! and also shows that Karen's digi's are so fab they don't need colours.  I have inked around the main white image sheet with orange brown and black.

The image is from Karen's doodles called 'born to ride' I have wrapped 2 colours of thread around the bottom of the image and hung a charm motorcycle form mystash.  I have added brads to the corners.

The sentiment was a freebie from a website, but I have lost itat the moment (sorry, if you know where it came from please let me know!)  It has beeninked around the edge with orange brwon and black.

The flower I have made myself using the same thread and a button!

I will be entering this card into thefollowing challenges

    Love the idea of not coloring in the design. Very different, but it sure does make it really stand out. May need to try this sometime myself. Thank you for joining us at Crafting for all Seasons. Feel free to enter to win blog candy w/ our design team's individual blogs.
