Travel by Scooter

It's time for a new challenge at The Male Room, a challenge blog for cards for the men and boys in our lives. As always we have a theme for you to experiment with and this week it's

Transport

Any kind or shape of transport, or any idea that the cue word gets you thinking about is fine we love bicycles, motorbikes, trains, cars, planes...you get the idea.

For my card I needed  card for a teenage boy -don't you think those are the most difficult, especially if it' not your teenage boy, but a friend's son, or the friend of your son, anyway, I thought that this might just be acceptable

I used a freebie image from a magazine and stamped it onto card stock four times, once on grey, once on green once on blue and finally on white, then I cut various bits out and paper pieced the Vespa back together. The wheels and seat have glossy accents added to make the shiny effect. The green chevrons are a piece of DP and the tine is there because the sentiment needed balance.  I like the rounded corners on the blue cardstock mat, they add to the retro feel I think. The sentiment is from Best Dad Ever - I like the 'maleness' of the typeset.

I think I'm getting a bit better at making these cards for men now, I certainly need the practice as I live in a house with only one female (Me!) Do have a look at the blog where the rest of the DT have some fantastic cards to look at.
I am going to enter my card in a new-to-me challenge blog called Handmade Harbour where the theme is Men and Boys too and in ABC challenges, where they are celebrating National Children's day with a challenge for cards for kids (hope it includes teenagers!) Happy Crafting!
