This was so fun, my first time making one of these.
I used this bicycle and Dressed it all up.
The CS is by Basic Grey-Perhaps paper pad.
On the image I stamped it once on this photo in front of my house, then stamped it twice more on white cs.
I cut out the wheels, the flower baskets (3), the fenders and the seat.
Used some SU marker Pretty in Pink to color the baskets, seat and fender.
The important part of this main panel are the flowers in the baskets (which I put up on dimensionals). It's a NEW PRODUCT called
Flower Soft that I picked up at my lss and I've used it in three colors:
Summer - front basket
Vintage Christmas - rear basket
Pale Green - pot by the wheels
This stuff is terrific, it gives the appearance of real flowers and leaves. It looks like chopped up fine dry herbs but colored. You put it on with a little bit of Flower Soft High Tack PVA Glue
for the insied I used Lots of Thoughts "sentiment" and Itty Bitty Borders "Lady Bugs"

Oooooh! I have some of the flower stuff but haven't used it yet! I received a birthday card with it on and it has such a cool look! Really does look like real flowers!
Ooops! Forgot to say how pretty your card is! Love the bicycle with the flower filled baskets...very old-fashioned looking!
