Hello friends! So glad you joined me!
Bicycles and stripes are the themes for this batch of cards today.
I am pleased with how this first card came out. I stamped, colored and fussy-cut a bicycle from Market Street Stamps (I loved that company!) and set it on a cork road (it's patterned paper), which is set upon a real map. Vancouver is prominently displayed here! The sun and clouds are die cuts, and the clouds were also embossed for some more interest.
The same bicycle appears below (I changed the seat color!) and set it again on a cork road surface, but this time, I imagined this as a city scene, hence the gray brick wall. I added a door and transom from Papertrey Ink 'Home Made' and added Crackle Glossy Accents from Ranger to the transom (after coloring it with Copic markers). How about that snazzy patterned paper beneath the cork? It was in a Stampin' Up! scrap bag from my friend. It's different, and I was pushing my creative limits a bit here.
Next up is a super simple thank you card in crisp navy and white.
Last but not least, another card with stripes, courtesy of My Mind's Eye patterned paper. I added a strip of gold mirror cardstock and a stamped sentiment. Then I layered on some cream colored die cut flowers, some raised on dimensional tape, some adhered flat to the card. Each one got topped with a rhinestone.
Thank you so much for your visit today!
Be blessed, and have a wonderful week!

YAY! It's been forever since I have seen your lovely cards online! You have been missed. I hope you are gettng back into stamping 😊
More wonderful cards Colleen! Love that bicycle. You've got some mad fussy cutting skills girl!
I love that you're coordinating and batching them like this. That's part of the fun, isn't it? If I remember right, you love organizing and this is a similar concept. Love every card! The navy and white is very striking.
