Boys to Men
The challenge this week at Allsorts is Boys to Men, so this card that I made for my son's birthday fits the theme perfectly. When he was younger all he wanted to do was to ride motorcycles, now that he's reached his 30's he's happier using a car in the colder and wetter weather. The stamp and sentiment are from Indigo Blu, I stamped it in Vintage Photo distress ink and then with a water brush dragged the colour out a bit for a vintage feel. I then distressed around the edges and mounted onto a piece of an old map of France that I had in the cupboard. A 7x7 card base was used for the card and with a stamp of a tyre tread I stamped randomly around the edges using another distress ink.

It's a great masculine cars Sue and sounds like it's perfect for your Son. One of ours went through that phase as well, but happy to say he moved on, or might be back as he's just ordered a new motorhome/van conversion, he had an old VW camper when he was at Uni which was in the garage more than on the road.
Anyhow, back to your lovely card which fits our Allsorts 'Boys to Men' theme a treat, many thanks for joining in.

Super card. You don't see many motorcycle stamps around so this is rather special. I like how you have incporporated the old map and the tyre tread onto the card. Won't be around on Thursday as a busy day. Hugs Mrs A.
