Just Us Girls Photo Week #425

Hello friends!  WOW...it's the last challenge of the month and that means my time as guest designer for the Just Us Girls Challenge has come to an end.  I want to thank all the ladies on the design team for making me feel welcome!  The challenge this week is an inspiration photo.  

Creative Nugget:  I decided to focus on the bicycles, the color yellow, and the stripes from the photo.  The bicycle image is from the Our Daily Bread Designs Bicycle stamp set and the sentiment from All Occasion Sentiments.  The scene was colored with Copic Markers.

Be sure to check out all the fabulous inspiration from the Just Us Girls team and come join the challenge...we would love to see what inspires you from the photo!

Thanks so much for stopping by...have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,
Cathymac

Time For a Ride...

…a bike ride, that is!  Hello, Friends!  Yesterday's CAS "Wheely" Challenge on Splitcoaststampers had me inking up an Our Daily Bread Designs image I've had for a while, but have never used.  This vintage bicycle scene brought back memories of learning to ride a bike when I moved from the city to the suburbs.  The girls in the neighborhood couldn't believe I had never ridden a bike before and it became their mission to teach me how.

Creative Nugget:  Since this is a Clean and Simple card, there's not really very much needed in the way of explanation.  After the Bicycle image was stamped and colored with Copics, a large Spellbinders Matting Basics rectangle was used to emboss a frame around the scene.  Two butterflies from the Butterfly & Bugs stamp set were colored and cut with the coordinating Butterfly & Bugs Dies.   Pink gingham from the Shabby Rose Paper Collection was used to mat the main panel before popping it up on a Neenah Solar Crest card base.  A little shimmer was added with a clear Wink of Stella marker to finish the card.

Here are the supplies from the Our Daily Bread Designs Store that were used to make this card:
