Riding by to say 'hello'

A crafty friend needed some cheering up

I made my background by scoring diagonal lines with my scoreboard.  I then inkblended the edges and attached it direct to the 300gsm cardbase.

I stamped various elements from Honey Bee ‘Riding By’ – heat embossed in black and then coloured with Distress Inks/watercolour. 

Bike elements were die-cut from Red Mirror card, wheels & handle bars from silver cardstock, tyre from black and attached direct to the cardfront with Gina K Connect Glue. 

Sentiments were stamped & die-cut then attached to the cardfront with foam tape.

The basket & flowers were arranged and glued together, then placed on the cardfront with foam tape to add dimension.

Items Used:

Stamps &/or dies:  Honey Bee ‘Riding By’

Ink:  Versamark Embossing Ink, WOW Embossing powder, Distress Inks

Adhesives/Tapes:  Double sided tape, Gina K Connect Glue, 3D foam

Card stock:  Blue Edge Crafts - 300 gsm cardbase, white 210 gsm cardstock, mirror cardstock,

Tools:  Cuttlebug, Couture Creations Mini Guillotine Trimmer, Couture Creations Mini Score Board

The card has now been received, and I can share it here.
