I had to play with some new goodies I saw when I went to my stamp store. The papers and Die cuts were just too cute, I thought my great niece might think it was cute too.
Our Pastor's husband loves to ride his bike for exercise, he even started a riding group that goes out together to ride bikes. So I thought what better thing to use for his 40th birthday card.
I remembered I had this stamp from a cardmaking magazine that comes in different pieces so you can layer things on the bike and stamp them in different color inks. I did not use the basket and flowers or the animals in the set. I stenciled the background with a cloud stencil and masked off the top bit so I could ink in the road. The balloon and sentiment stamp were also in the same set.
I was once again tempted by the ads for craft goodies on Amazon, I thought this set of stamps and dies with mushrooms and flowers were so pretty. The sentiment came in the set also.
I bet you can't figure out how old my great nephew is turning :) I went with a paper pack that had tag cut outs in it, then used some rub ons for the numbers and a sticker from the $ store for the sentiment.
I was hand delivering this card to our Pastors teenage daughter, and so I went with some puffy flowers made from felt that I have had for quite some time.
