Antique Wheels

Hello friends! I hope you had a good weekend. We once again had quite a bit of rain to contend with.

It is a new month which means Jen has a new sketch. Check out all the deets for this sketch here.

This card is my take on the sketch...

I started with some new October Afternoon 5 & Dime papers and lots of sponging with Vintage Photo Distress ink. The bike image and sentiment are from a Hero Arts clear set called Joy Ride. I used Spellbinder circle and scallop circle dies and some very poorly done stitching, lol. Sewing in a circle is just not my thing!! Tucked behind the image is a piece of red cardstock embossed with a CB die that has gears all over it, sorry, but I do not know the name of that one. The red and black paper I used is filled with numbers and ticket images so for the strip along the bottom I used the Tim Holtz Sizzix ticket die and simply stamped the sentiment in the center ticket.

You have all month to play along with the sketch challenge.
