Special Delivery

Time for another cardmaking session on a very cold, wet & windy day here in Adelaide.

I had a cutting & pre-stamping session a few weeks ago where I prepared a few elements ready to colour in and make up a card at a later date.

When I saw the current 'Just us Girls' challenge, I new exactly what I was going to do!  Don't you just love it when that happens?


The background was handmade by smooshing & spritzing water reactive inks onto white cardstock, trimmed to suit, then attached to Burgundy cardbase.

Bicycle frame die cut from the most gorgeous pink cardstock, wheel & handle bars from silver and tyre from black.  

Flowers & basket were stamped & heat embossed in black, hand coloured using watercolours then die cut.  The Bicycle frame, basket & the flowers have been attached in different layers with 3d foam.  

Sentiment 'Special Delivery' stamped with Black Staz On and finishing touches of some 'bling gems' added.

This card is going to a special 'crafty' friend ...... just because :)

    What a fun "Just because" card, I love the bicycle motif and the basket full of flowers. The background looks so interesting to me, so many different colours that create a connection between the card base, the bike, and the flower basket. Those tiny pearls are perfect to add a little bling, and I'm sure your card will bring great joy to the recipient. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.

    Hugs, Veronika
