"Biker Girl"

On Sunday last weekend I was sent a email by Dr. Digi with this "Biker Girl" image above and it reminded me so much of a very dear friend of mine, and as this week is a very difficult one for her and I felt if I could make her smile it was worth buying it and giving it a go.
And this was the photo that inspired me and as the friend in question is almost 86 I thought that the image was appropriate so I hope you like the result.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

Latest news, she was thrilled by it, as its her Wedding Anniversary on the 31st and she lost her hubby nearly 2 years ago and is still very weepy over it and lonely, but this made her smile so Im so pleased that I gave her something else to think about at such a difficult time.
