I have a different card to show today. A couple that we bicycle with recently married and we thought it would be fun to give them a cycle theme wedding card. We were heading to a bike show the day we gave it to them with a wedding gift so it was well received :)
I realize that this is not my usual vibrant colour scheme and I did not create the background. I used paper from a Heartfelt Creations collection that I've stashed away to use for a travel album. I cut out a piece that had a vintage bicycle image. I stamped congratulations and created flowers and flourishes using die cuts. I coloured the flowers with Distress ink to co-ordinate with the paper. I added Wink of Stella and the hearts to the wheel centres.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.

Oh what a fun and fabulous card! Such a great stamp and the way you have embellished it further with those flowers looks super! I bet the couple loved it!!
Oh my goodness, Shirley--this is an absolute treasure! Incredibly wonderful use of the printed paper & so special for your friends! Glad you had nice weather for Easter. We're supposed to have 4 sunny days in a row this week & my first Rhododendron is showing color--my favorite pink!
This is super fabulous. Love the whole design and colour combo.xx

I love your bicycle card Shirley and the pretty flowers and flourishes and lattice heart go beautifully and the HC background suits it perfectly, and the little hearts on the wheel hubs are a great idea. A wonderful wedding card for your biking friends. Glad you had a good Easter and the weather was warm. I think our weather has some way to go before we do much sitting outside...lol. x
What a darling card. The flowers really make your card pop.
A really clever choice for a bicycling couple, definitely a different wedding card.
This card is very beautiful Shirley! Love all details and your new color scheme. A lovely design!

A fun card and so fitting for this couple! Good to see you use some DP (mine is still laying in boxes and getting dusty) Beautiful for the occaision! We didn't had such sunny weather with Eastern, but upcomming weekend it will get warmer they say! (And only 10 days before the ART Specially, when it normaly is warm and sunny...) Hugs, Gerrina
Hello, Just saw your link at Gerrina's, and able to click and pop over to see what you're up to. What a beautifully unique way to use this bicycle, and I chuckled when you said you didn't create the background. You've made this fab paper design all your very own, by the way you've embellished the card & personalized it for your biking friends. I would never 'see' that in the paper, so Kudoes to you, even if you didn't create the bkground. It's a beautifully done card! TFS & Hugs.
It's a beautiful card Shirley, wonderful embellished ! I'm sure, the couple was very happy with this card ! Have a nice weekend ! Enny
Love the design and I love your flowers - what more could anyone want!! I am behind - so what else is new!!
