This challenge at Moxie Fab has been on my “To Do” list ever since I saw it posted. I love this Hero Arts bicycle stamp, but haven’t put it to much use. I finally got to it today, just in the nick of time. Here are two cards for the challenge. For the first card, I stamped the bike, then cut it out with a rectangle Nestability. I left it in the die and sponged the sky and the ground. The basket and bike were colored with Prisma colored pencils, and the flowers were created with Flower Soft. After mounting the image, I added the felt cloud.
Cardstock: Ripe Avocado & Vintage Cream (PTI); Patterned Paper: Road Map (October Afternoon); Stamps: Bicycle (Hero Arts) & Sentiment Everyday Button Bits (PTI); Flower Soft: Sage & Raspberry Fizz; tag punch (trimmed down); Brad (Kaiser); silver pearls (Mrs. Grossman); twill: Ripe Avocado (PTI); cloud die (PTI); Vintage Cream felt
For this card I stamped the image on a page from an old Little House in the Prairie book that I picked up at an used book store just for this purpose. I don’t know that I would have ever put Orange Zest and Scarlet Jewel together, but they matched the ribbon perfectly and turned out to be a good combination.
Cardstock: Orange Zest & Scarlet Jewel (PTI); Patterned paper (A Muse); ribbon from stash; Stamps: Bicycle (Hero Arts) & Sentiment Birds of a Feather (PTI); Nestability label: Scrap-Mart exclusive die (Spellbinders); Prisma colored pencils
Love the stamping on text! I also love the map background on the first card. Both are awesome – flower soft seems very “you.”

Oh I love the map background and little fluffy cloud on the first card. That stamp is great.
these are both cute, but I just love the map paper and the felt cloud on the first one. Awesome job with this challenge!
Love both of your cards. That bicycle stamp is perfect. I like the map background, but I also like the pop of color in the bike basket against the page of text.
I love your beautiful crisp stamping on that text. And the soft little cloud is the perfect finishing touch.
They are both lovely…but particularly like the first one….the map background works so well…and love the sentiment.
Great cards – love the stamping onto text of the second, but the first is my favourite – all that great dimension! xx
