Paper Artsy - HP1208 London Bus

Masculine cards are always difficult for me to create.  When I tried this Paper Artsy London Bus stamp I thought it could do with a bit of a background so, after making a mask of the bus, I used a Dreamweaver stencil called Bare Trees and sponged it with Distress Ink.  Then I thought it looked a bit boring and was going to toss the image but came up with the idea of cutting it into four and matting it onto black card stock.

The paper behind the black card stock is from Creative Memories and I swiped a white ink pad around the edges.  The sentiment is from an unnamed set.
