Card for a man

Our nephew is now grown up, he's always been a bit wild but he's finally settled down and has a new baby and he's had to grow up fast so instead of a frivolous card he had to have something a bit more fitting(LOL!)

It started with a combination of Frayed Burlap and Weathered Wood and a fair sprinkling of water! I used stencils then, again using Weathered Wood. Some paper from a pad I bought years ago, the stamps are from the little set of stamps I  got at Tim's workshop last year plus the Warehouse District set, and the background for the bike is text from a set of clear Tim stamps again bought ages ago and lost the pack! I used Wendi Vecchi's Potting Soil Archival ink to stamp, apart from the compass, which I did using the watercolour method and Seedless Preserve distress ink.
A little strip of craft paper and a set of little letters just finished it.

I would like to link this to 
Try it on Tuesdays where the theme is Travel
and Our Creative Corner where there is a three colour challenge without the use of black - browns, blues, purple

Thanks for looking, Chris
