I have an old article about a new type of Tandem that my dear old Grandad designed & made around the late 1940s so I copied this & used for my background. I used several DI's over a few cog masks cut from my Silhouette, splashed with water to distress further then over stamped with a 'splodge' & 'watch' stamp from '7 Gypsies'. I stamped the 'cycling' stamp (The Artistic Stamper) in black & coloured with more DI's. I cut a TH rosette out of Fancy Pants card & attached a metal cog (TH) & wing bought from a craft fair, mounted the background onto cream then black card & attached some bakers twine. I coloured & stapled the phrase (Artistic Stamper) then added Rock Candy & attached to card. I tried to shape the 'cycling' stamp to add a bit of depth. Very grungy!
Beautiful card Sue. A lovely way to use memories of your Grandad too. Hugs Rita xx
