On your bike - but not that one.
Good morning. Another Sunday - another CD Sunday challenge. We had some lovely entries for last week's Showtime theme and I really enjoyed seeing the different ideas for the theme. This week it's my turn to choose the theme. I've chosen 'On Your Bike' so I hope that gives you plenty of ideas.
For my card I decided to start with my favourite bike stamp - a penny farthing. So stamped it and cut it out ready - then made a background using Serif Daisy Trail Steampunk Travel and Inventor cd's. I printed some of the elements out twice so I could layer them up, added a Spellbinders die cut cog and reached for my stamped image. Yikes - way too small for the background!! So I searched my digikits for bikes and up popped this image from the Steampunk range. So there you have it - not sure I'd feel totally safe on a bike like this - would those propellers have lifted it off the ground in a high wind I'm wondering.
Hope you find time to join in this week.
Thank you for visiting today.

That is just super amazing Beryl. Great theme for the challenge and you certainly have set the bar high mrs.
Really wonderful card, love the image and the different elements you used. Have a great Sunday. :)
Fab card Beryl, I love your background and fab image, I don't think I fancy a ride on it either - looks a bit dangerous!
Great theme this week and for once I know exactly what I'm going to do!

What a lovely card, it reminds me of the film "Back to the Future" for some reason. The muted colours are perfect for this card.

Hi Beryl
I'm so late getting to you this week, sorry about that. Love Love Love this card, what a brilliant image, I'd love one of those for getting about.
The way you've layered it with all the cogs and steampunk bits is great too.
Thank you for your lovely comments and you wondered about that big stamp I was using.. it's a Stampin Up Medallion stamp and it is huge. I love it and use it all the time.
Hope you are having a good week and didn't have too much snow yesterday.
hugs Lisax
