Papertrey April Blog Hop Challenge

Here is my first ever card that I've entered in a PTI Blog Hop and I'm so excited about participating!!! I don't have a huge collection of PTI stamps...yet. I'm in love, of course, with ALL of them, and I got a few key sets I knew I would use all the time for cards (which I have!) last summer at CHA in Rosemont, Illinois. I cannot wait to go again this year. I have a "wish list" prepared already :) Now to start saving!!

Thank you for visiting and I hope that you enjoy my take on the PTI Blog Hop challenge of making a masculine type card. This will go in my stash for an upcoming boy's birthday...the bike added the perfect touch :)

Here is a link for the hop to see the other talented people out there!!

Just a close-up of the detail in the rub-on and the stamped wording at the bottom!

Terrific card! Your grid patterned circles are great. Now I have to go and figure out what stamps you used for that!

Too cute!

Thank you for all the wonderful comments!! @Chris: I used for the lined border at the bottom PTI's mini scrapbook series: library ledger, Mixed Messages for the words on the lined border, and I used the horizontal lines from the Take Note set and stamped it, rotated the stamp and stamped it again to create the grid pattern, and then used the dotted circle border from that set to outline the grid circles in red!
