Big Bike

 I'm SO ready for spring.  The warm weather to tease, then the cold weather again...ugh!  Just want it to stay 70 and sunny for awhile.

Anyway, I made a card for the Bombshell Stamps Bingo Challenge.  Ms Leslie is a great friend and I wanted to support her as Ms March over at Bombshell.  If I have time, I might make another for this bingo challenge.



I decided to go with the bottom row with this card...bikes, blue, pearls, stitching, and embossing.  I got them all covered.


The Big Bad Bike stamp is from Unity and it's a big stamp at 4.5"x6".  I used granite embossing powder for the bike.  It actually has some pretty glitter effects.  I went with the faux stitching, since I didn't feel like getting my sewing machine out of the closet, changing thread and all that good stuff.  


Pearls with a bike image didn't sound right, but under the sentiment, they fit perfectly and looked great.  I almost went with "A girl needs options", but decided on this sentiment instead. The last element for the bingo to be complete was the color blue.  I went with all shades of blues.  


Here's the inside.  There are some great bingo elements, to make some amazing cards.

thanks for looking and reading :o)

Simply incredible image but I really love the crisp clean lines and the banners in the corner with the pearls, it adds a punch and highlights the bike perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome creation with us at 4 Crafty Chick No Pattern Papers.
