This card was made for a young man that I've never actually met. The young mans diagnosis is not a good one. He made a request to the public in our state, to receive birthday cards, LOTS of them for his birthday next month. Being that I don't actually know the young man, I just kinda had to guess what he would like. I figured motorcycles?? Doesn't all young men like motorcycles? I found the image on Google, printed it out on white cardstock. Cut it to size, and cut a piece of black card stock a little bit larger to put behind it. I attached it with foam tape. I colored it with Metallic Gel Pens. The Happy Birthday Sentiment is from a stamp. I stamped the saying then heat embossed it with white embossing powder, onto black cardstock. I cut it out using a pair of difficult to use scissors. I have no idea what they are called? They came in a bag, with about a dozen different ones, all of which are difficult to cut with. I have had them for probably about ten years though. Figured I would try them out for this. It came out....okay. I don't think I'll be using them again. The red paper is a red card stock that I got from Michaels, and the three metal embellishments I also got from Michaels. Okay onto the coolest part of this card...okay what I think is cool...the background!!! Diamond plate <3 This is actually a piece of vinyl! I have used it in a few cards before, and love the way it looks. I purchased it from https://expressionsvinyl.com/
but they no longer carry it. They are still my go to for most of my vinyl needs though. You can find the same type of vinyl I used on this card from this link though... https://www.amazon.com/Diamond-Plate-Vinyl-Sheet-Simple/dp/B009WXK8MG?th=1
