Life is Like a Bicycle ....


I am excited to announce that I am now on the design team for Eclectic Ellapu.  Eclectic Ellapu is a challenge blog that has a theme each challenge that starts on the 1st of the month.  This month's challenge is an "Anything Goes".  

I decides too make a card following the theme of my sentiment that I created on my computer for the card.   I just loved this saying when I read it on a print.  The background of my bicycle scene was stamped on some gelli print paper that I had in my stash,  I like the way the colour is variegated on the wall giving the card a vintage look. 

I used distressed inks to colour the bicycle and the basket of flowers. The vintage bicycle stamp is by Inkadinkado that I have had in my collection for a long time. . The background squares were cut out with my Cricut. I thought they went well with the gelli print background. 

Thank you for joining us this week.  Pop over to the Eclectic Ellapu challenge blog to see the  creations that the design team has created to inspire you.
