a bicycle built for 2



The literal girl in me is out again, so I wanted to play along with Jay Gee's Nook color challenge and since I have a weakness for bicycles, decided to pull out the Unity set I recently bought.  And since I'm playing with the new Unity background stamps I won I added the burlap background (thanks Play Date Cafe) and added some glitter for the current All Things Unity challenge to "bling it up".  Go figure I add glitter on an overcast day, you can't quite see the sparkle... but it's just the right amount of bling for me (it's the Make It Monday tip from a couple of weeks ago, click here for the video).

Materials: Unity Life is Fabulous kit bicycle and sentiment, Unity burlap background, Spellbinders Nestabilities Label 8, PTI Kraft card stock, Stampin Up Baja Breeze card stock, Martha Stewart black glitter, Versafine black ink, white gel pen, black sharper, Copic R85

This is beautiful, Erin! I love the colours you used and especially the burlap layer. The glitter strip is perfect and of course I adore the tandem bike. ;D

Great take on the challenge by using that bike image, I think Literal is still good.
