Route 66 Riley



Riley got some new chaps for Christmas, which meant of course he had to take a little Roadtrip down Route 66! Friday's Hanna Challenge was to make a card using a Riley stamp as well as some accessories from one of the Hanna Sets, which in this case was the Route 66 Hanna biker set. There are some fabulous complimentary images in this set that will allow you to make a scene!

The sentiment is from Stampin' up! it's your birthday. The DP is a retired one from SU! as well. Base cardstock is really rust, complimentary is Chocolate Chip. I coloured in the image with Copics, sponging in the sky and sand and using white, silver and gold gel pens for accenting. The Hemp Twine and Star punch polish the card of quite niceely don't you think?









Wow only a few more days left in the Year...............what do you hope to accomplish before year's end? Leave a comment and you could be the winner of a Hanna Pirate set, plus some other sweet candy!

  2. He's so stinkin cute! Love him and that set! This year I wanted to learn as much as I can about stamping and I've come a ways, but I want to learn about coloring with distressed inks so that's what I'm going to work on until the end of the year and into the new year. I hope all the things you want to accomplish for the new year come your way!

  5. What I really hope to accomplish before year's end is just to continue to have a calm, low-key time with my family. 2008 hasn't been so great, but we have had a precious time so far during this Christmas season. I'm reminded how much more important the people in my life are than the "things" we thought we couldn't live without. I'm reminded just how really good God is and I'm trying to learn to wait on Him and His perfect timing. So, just to continue to love on my family and be loved on by them is really all I want to do to finish out 08!

  11. That Riley sure does get around! Your card is so very, very cute, Vicki! Really great creating and coloring of Riley's scene, too. Hey, all I hope to accomplish before year's end is getting the house clean and tidy after the Christmas rush. I'd like to finish that so I can have some stamping time! Happy new year!
