I was thrilled to have been sent this stamp in a RAK from Peggy (aka Marilyn Prestonn) and friends, as it always reminded me of my eldest daughter Bronte, who used to love riding her bike around the yard, with our white fluffy Maltese ShihTzu dog in the basket - as Bronte pointed out, the only difference is that her basket was on the front.
The colour of the bike inspired the colours of this card, which I really love. I coloured the image with wet chalks and a blender pen, adding pink brads to the centre of the wheels to make them stand out a bit. I also used nail bling, I love the way it is subtle yet adds so much! The photo corners have been cut by hand (as I have no punch) and then inked. All in all this was an easy card but I am happy with the outcome - what about you....what do you think?!
Thanks for looking, I value your comments, they are so encouraging!

This is sooo pretty! Great coloring job, and just the right amount of embellies. I can't believe you cut those corners by hand - great job on that as well. TFS!

Aaaack! I thought this card was so wonderful, and after reading your description, it is even more so! How very cute! I love that lil pup in the basket too. Your photo corners are great. Nail bling? I will have to check that out! It is perfect!
