I actually kept myself from putting a bow or ribbon knot on this one, so as to keep it manly. I did use some silver sheer ribbon that I got at www.cdstampsw.com though,and it actually looks like a metallic pewter, so it really matched the motorcycle theme.
I put clear lacquer on the chrome or painted parts of the bike for added effect.

Laurie, this card is amazing, too...for lots of reasons! #1. Your watercoloring is beyond fantastic on this bike (and who doesn't know how hard it would be to color the bike???) -- look at the coloring on that front tire! WOWZA! 2. Your layout and layers are great on this! 3. Your fun stitching just adds all that more to the card!
