Remembering you

 I little while back I had made a sympathy card to have on hand if I needed it, well I did end up needing it, our friends brother passed away, so when I saw these challenges that I am including my card in today, I thought it might work for another card to have on hand when the time arises.

Enjoy the ride

 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.

• Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine - Bike, balloon and sentiment stamps
• My Favorite Things - Cloud Stencil
