Sending smiles

I love this tiny bicycle by Hero arts, it's the most happy little bicycle I've seen! Perfect for the Moxie Fab challenge. I was so inspired by all the cute bicycle images they had in the post and decided to go for a clean card.

If you want to play as well:

I wanted to keep the bicycle as the main focus, so I made sure all other elements are as neutral as possible. That's why the ribbon is left black, it also frames the proportions of the card well.

I picked this sentiment because this bicycle makes me smile how could I not smile with that cute basket of fresh flowers?

Anyways, after I made the card I realised this card perfectly fits the PDCC as well ( this time it was to make a card with black white and a bit of blue), I was planning to make another card to enter that but since this matched well I guess I will enter it there as well:-)

The background is a Hero arts cling stamp which I stamped and cut out.

( I inked it up sprayed water and stamped it. It comes out a bit blurry and patchy when you do this and gives the background a lovely rustic feel:-) ) I pre stamped the bicycle on my card base before hand since I wanted the wheels to hang out of the scallop circle.




So that's my quick post for the day!

Here's the Supplies list:
