Craft Roulette Challenge 76 - Vintage Bike

This is my seventh creation for the Craft Roulette Challenge, and this one actually WAS a little bit of a challenge.  Mary Gunn Funn runs Craft Roulette - it's a weekly crafting show on YouTube now, every Friday evening.  Check her out, and jump in if you can participate!

I created this card for Episode #76.  

This week's parameters were:
  • Project: Your favorite - I went with a regular A2 card, but if I had more time, my favorite would have been to make a box.   
  • Colors:  Vintage
  • Element: Summer Sports
  • Random: Weaving - I used the Faux Tile Backsplash technique to make the weaved background.

The challenge for me was actually the Project parameter.  My favorite thing to make are boxes, but I just didn't have the brain power to figure out how to incorporate the weaving on to a box.  Maybe next time the Favorite Project parameter comes up, I'll be able to figure it out.  :)


Paper measurements:
  • Merry Merlot: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".  Scored at 4 1/4".
  • Petal Pink: 4 1/16" x 5 5/16"
  • Mossy Meadow: 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Very Vanilla: 4" x  5 1/4" (for inside of card)
  • Very Vanilla: 3 3/4" x 5" - to weave the designer series papers on.
  • Floral Art Designer series papers: 1/2" strips, two different patterns, plus scrap to stamp bike on
  • Mossy Meadow, Merry Merlot, Petal Pink - scraps to stamp and layer bike and greetings.

I thought the colors from the designer papers were Vintage enough, and the bike is for summer sports.

Here's a closer picture - see the shine of the clear embossing on the weaving.
