I die-cut the bike from mixed media paper and watercoloured with Distress Inks. I created the background using the Acetate Smooshing technique and the same colours. I stamped the sentiment (Signature Greetings - Memory Box), and then added a little more ink to ground the bike. Very simple card that was fun to make!

I LOVE your card, fab colours and a wonderful bike. Thanks for the inspiration, too. I was looking for a bike in my files today, for a great nephew, but couldn't see it done. Now I can. Thanks x
ReplyDeleteCute bike, Loll, and I do love these colors together! It's really pretty in the smooshy, splattery background, and the scripty sentiment looks like I might need to add the set to my wish list. You can never have too many sentiments!
