I made this card for my brother in law's birthday.
He likes filming the nature...
We all love to make trips by bike and when the years passed, we all bought an electric bike, except my brother in law : he did not want one, saying he was too young, but that changed quickly as our environment is more hilly then where he lives.
So last year he bought an electric bike too, the most sophisticated he could find !
But on our fist trip after an hour his battery malfunctioned, and then he had to pedal twice as hard as we to get to our home !
All the pictures where found on the internet.
The front picture says: A young and sportive bike said the salesman.
The second picture shows his new bike with malfunction and the need for repairing.
The third one shows him taking pictures along the way
And inside the card you can read the words:" is it still far away"?
The checked PP that I used is from Studio light.
The gears are die cuts are from Joy crafts: 6002/0287
The accordion part is held closed by 2 brads.

A super-fun card. I need to use photo-turns more for fun elements on the front. I think we can all identify with the "Are we there yet" type sentiment on the inside.

What a fantastic card design. I love the brads that hold it closed, partly because I have dozens of then that need to be used! Your images were a tremendous find. How long did you have to search for those! The colors are very festive and the die gears are the perfect accent!
