Happy Spring Bicycle Cards




One of my best card buying friends really liked this card and requested a dozen spring themed cards.  After an attempt to paper pierce the Practicing Creativity bicycle again (with a few too many interruptions from a screaming 3 year old) I decided that perhaps I'd try this Hero Arts bicycle stamp and leave the paper piercing for another project.  I've stamped PTI's Daily Designs sentiment "spring wishes" on the inside of these cute little cards.  I was recently discovered the challenge "Less is More" and thought theses simple, easily mass produced cards, would be a good start for a new challenge.

Materials: Hero Arts bicycle stamp, PTI Daily Designs sentiment, Spellbinders Nestabilities Label 8, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Stampin Up black ink, Copic R85, Green marker, Tim Holtz Distressing ink Antique Linen, PTI kraft card stock, Stampin Up red card stock, Yellow card stock from Spotlight

Erin, I love that bicycle stamp! ans your cards are fantastic! I would not have liked doing 12 of them! As for me perkking up!, even with a head ache I am perked up already, that was for all the readers who, when I go to their blogs, say they are down and not creating! The card is not perfect, but I was happy with it(not the photography). Everyone missed that it was night, but the coffee was waiting! Thus the black window! Have a wonderful day!
