Can't wait any longer for the MIXed media challenge today so I've made my own mixed media card - I wanted to use this bicycle for a card for Lisa's WTUI this week because while this model certainly ain't a sports bike, cycling most definitely is a sport. While on holidays we met one Austrian couple who had cycled all the way from Austria through the Pyrenees, where we met them, and they were still going on to Fatima in Portugal. We met another group who were cycling across France west to east through the Pyrenees. This bicycle belongs to an altogether less energetic person who has been to the flower market and is now on the way home with a bunch of patriotic flowers ( actually the centre bits of a Sizzix sunflower coloured with Mermaid markers) and some gold stars. I buffed the bike with some rub-ons to help it stand out from the background collage, and added verdigris EP to the Paris die-cut, in keeping with the vintage feel.
The background is actually part of a map of Paris, and it looks as if I had used bubble wrap to print on it.

I agree biking is totally a sport. My cousin is an avid biker and she bikes with a couple of groups. Then there are the competitions and I am always in awe of a bike competition. It has been years since I have ridden on a bike but totally should get out on one once in a while. Great mixed media and another fantastic card for the Sports themed challenge Sabrina.
