A bicycle ride into summer....

Happy Tuesday!! It seems like a while since I posted...guess because it has been five days. This weekend our family went camping at North Bend Campground in VA and had a blast on the lake with my brother and sister and law and family. I can't wait to go again.

Anywho...while in summer mode, I would like to share a card I made using on of Our Daily Bread Design's new releases from last Friday called Bicycyle. I just love this image and I had a blast coloring it.

Card recipe:
Stamps: Bicycle and Thank You Sentiments from Our Daily Bread Designs

Paper: SEI (in my scrap stash so I am unaware of exact pad it came from)

Spellbinders: Floral Ovals, Romantic Rectangles, Classic and scalloped ovals

Tools: Bow Easy, Navy Blue Silk ribbon from May Arts, COPICS

If you click on the photo, you can see the stitching.

Challenges I am entering my creation in:
