For today's IC challenge ~ {more} sprinkled joy. I quite like how this turned out as a card for my BIL, though I suspect he won't, unlike last year, say it's the best card I've ever made him.
I used puppy dog tails as my inspiration, taking the blue and white chevron stripes, and the orange spot for my sun.
I smudged the sentiment because I couldn't find the right size of block - but I was reluctant to waste the entire card and decided that it actually went OK with the road (stamped with Work of Art), so I just left it as it is. It suits the muted retro colours, for me.
I did, orginally, stamp a greeting and do it chalkboard style as per the Chalkboard Vinyl elements in the IC site, but it didn't come together.
Thanks for looking...

What a sweet 'Ride' that would be, Sabrina! An all gold motorcycle! I like how your smudge replicates the road, and if you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have even noticed it! Your chevrons remind me of mountains in the distance, and the sun is a nice touch~

This is cool Sabrina! I really like your die cuts, the chevrons, sun, bike -- your dp is perfect for this.

Terrific card for your BIL. I would have never noticed the smudge because I thought you were making it a little distressed/rugged. LOVE the motorbike die on the fab road.
