Welcome card for Shelly, my dental hygienist who is moving into her new office, and decorating- motorcycle style.
The main image was a gift to me and is unmounted, so I do not know the name- but I love this image. It is done in black embossing powder over designer paper from stampingstation.com. The tank and fender were covered with a thick coat of Crystal Effects, and a bit of micro glitter. Once dry, more CE was applied to give the bike a custom paint look.
This week's Twisted Sister challenge was called "Heavy Metal", and was issued by Shirley. I used a ton of brads, and also framed "Shelly Rides" in SU's Hodgepodge Hardware.
Thanks for looking!

Wait a darn minute Mrs. Buckle - have we switched from cowboys to motorcyle gangs???? I do declare - what will the cowboys think of this? Did you switch and not tell me. Are you an "in the closet" Harley wanabe??? I'm SHOCKED I tell ya. But, after the shock wore off, I have to say this is one FINE, FINE creation. The sparkled and CE fenders are spectacular and the dp, hardware. What a great job. Do you think a cowboy can ride a motorcycle and vice versa???? Hugz. I hope the galleries are finally fixed!!

WOWZERS, Pat, this card is for no "pale rider"!!! Awesome details on the "bike" with the glitter and CE for that super shiny look! That DP is showing this biker is really out for a great ride, covering many states - love the corner treatments and HPH too!!
Maybe you should should head over to VA and cool down that cowgirl there! She is having a fit because you have switched from being a cowboy's sweetheart to being a biker chick !! OH MY!!!
