PS the bike is an ef, then direct to paper, not a stamp.
We do have two national parks in Wisconsin-Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and St. Croix Nation Scenic Riverway, also in Minnesota. There is also the Ice Age National Scenic Trail and the North country National Scenic Trail, which starts in New York and included Wisconsin. We have national forests, like the Chequemagon, which is on my old WI map. On the lower right, you'll see Rhinelander, which is where my sister now lives. Still a couple of hours from the top border of WI. Did you know that Wisconsin doesn't really exist? Yes, when weather is discussed nationally, Minneapolis and Chicago are mentioned, nothing happening in between. Yeah, right. We've had floods and tornadoes, rarely a mention. We are invisible.
I've taken advantage of the WT map challenge to make more inroads into the VSN. Sentiment on the right is cut from some dp. I don't even have a bike any longer.

Jean, I love this! Wonderful use of an old map. The bicycle looks fab stamped on it. Seems funny to have the lake and river with a French name when I think a lot of your local ones are Indian?? And wow, so many lakes.
I once used part of an old map to make a card with Snoopy on his motorbike, and I was so bummed when I messed it up and had to start again, because nowhere else on my map had "old silver mine" on it :-(.

A great card. I love that you stamped the bicycle directly on your map. I always like to see recycling and ideas to use things I normally do not use in our card making.
