Anne(Itsapassion) gave us the site called Eglantyne. It is an Asian site with all things Victorian......seems like a paradox. Beautiful items. I chose this CARD because of the colors and I had a new image of an old-fashioned bicycle which I have yet to use. I tried to incorporate some the the card's bg colors into the bg of my focal panel. A backgrounder stamp featuring the gears was overstamped on my panel to get this effect. This will be a masculine b'day card.
Thanks to Jennifer(mother's daughter) I have changed my title to the correct name for this type of high-wheeler bicycle.

Sallie, this is a beautiful card. Your paper behind the image looks like a caned chair seat. It really adds to the theme of your card.

Sallie, this is so cool. I am guessing your gelli plate was involved ? If so, my favorite bg to date. Wonderful image as well - makes for a fantastic masculine card

great masculine card Sallie, Before my DH left for work we were watching the pickers show and he commented on always wanting to try one of these bikes... Seems a little to far to fall for me, lol...

Very cool vintage image..fits in great with today's site. Fabulous bg and I really like how you have it displayed on top of the lattice punched panel (I have some caned chairs with that same pattern). Great all purpose card to have on hand.

Great image, I love the bicycle - I had no idea that is what it's called! Your card is perfect for a masculine BD! Great job! Thanks for playing along this weekend and Happy Easter to you!

I love the background for the penny farthing (I didn't know that's what it was called either!) and I love the texture of your paper!! Wonderful masculine card!!
