I used a set of stamps that my MIL found at a yardsale last year for $1.00. It's a whole forest scene set. I stamped the tree directly on the cardstock and stamped the branches, woodpecker and baby bird in the hole on a piece of scratch card stock, fussy cut them out and pop dotted them up. The grass was done in three shades of green. I stamped the stream and waterfall on the card stock using markers and then chalked the water. I added little pink flowers throughout the grass. I chalked the background and stamped the fish and the bird.
The teal card base is from Colorbok. The cream colored card stock is Recollections and the white is GP.
I didn't have any Harley Stamps, so I made a scene for Becky that would remind her of the trips she made on her bike. I hope this card takes Becky away to better days.

The "road trip" is a very North American favourite. Most of us have very fond memories of this. You have created a beautiful scene reminiscent of trips I'm sure Becky took.

This is an amazing card! Oh my gosh, just stunning! I love all the colors that you used and how well it all goes together. Love the flowers in the right bottom corner too. And what a deal - to get all of this for one dollar! wow!
