Biker Chick Inspiration with Vicki Boutin

We are happy to share a project today from Biker Chick Vicki Boutin.  It is always a treat to get a closer look at the creative process of a designer like Vicki, but let's have her tell you all about it...

I often love elements from the Little Yellow Bicycle themed lines but want to use them for pages or projects that are not related to a particular theme.  In this case I mixed a little Makin' the Grade with The Escape.  I love these lines and the colors actually work well together.  I mixed papers and stickers and pulled together a layout in less than an hour.

I love the cork elements from Makin' the Grade and they were just begging to be altered! 

So I pulled out a few goodies and personalized them for my page.

I sprayed the stars with a little mistable paint and let them dry.

Next I layered the misted stars with a fun background stamp and black ink.

To finish off the cork letters, I stamped them with a script stamp and black ink.

 

 

I love crafting embellishments that are great for altering and these cork elements were no exception!  I'd love to hear if you ahve found any ways to bling up other LYB products.  I am always looking for something new to try.  Thanks for taking the time to visit!  Happy crafting!
