My card for this week's Inspiration Challenge was inspired by this Leather Bicycle Card Wallet from Spotted Moth.
I stamped PrintWorks Bike with Basket on a piece of Memory Box Valise paper (love this kraft designer paper collection). I sponged through some sequin and then sponged heavily along the bottom to ground the bicycle.
I used a little blue colored pencil on the bike seat and peddle to pull the blue clocks out of the background. I finished with a Tim Holtz sentiment and wrap of twine. This will be one of the Father's Day cards I send in the mail.

This card is just fabulous, Stef. The vintage style paper and that old bike, paired with your shading and twin make this a real show stopper. I love everything about it!
