Pretty bicycle

Hello lovely people,

It's time for a new challenge at As You Like It and our theme this time is...

YOUR FAVOURITE LAYOUT
...and don't forget to tell us why it's your favourite!

Our sponsor this time is Sweet and Sassy Stamps


My favourite layout is cased from a previous card and any design with this pretty shaped base is a winner for me but I especially loved arranging all the details around the central image circle.
It even makes it really easy to add names/ages etc. which I sometimes find a little tricky!


This bicycle image is a really simple one but is so cute and I think it would be good for some masculine designs too...minus all the flowers etc.!


Card recipe;
DP: Vintage baby - Maja Design (available from Live and Love Crafts)
Flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts
Twine: Natural button twine - The Ribbon Girl (not available at present)
Tag: Sentiment tags - LOTV
Dies: Large frilly frame #10 - Go Kreate, Circle stax - MFT Die-namics, Heart flower swirl - Magnolia Doohickeys
Letters/numbers: magazine freebie stamp set

I hope you will pop over to As You Like It and check out the fabulously creative projects from the rest of the team :-)

Whilst making this card it occurred to me that there must be lots of lovely layouts that I have used before and would be worth revisiting so I plan to CASE myself more often!

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,


Challenges I am entering;
Live and Love Crafts (blue)
Papertake Weekly (take your pick - I used blue and vintage)
Simon Says Stamp (anything goes)
A Gem of a Challenge (one for the girls)

    Oh this is such a fab card Kat! Love your design, and may have to try a similar layout some time.
    I use bycicle images all the time for the males in my family (loads of cyclists, some race competitively), though I'd probably mask off the basket for them. Or not, if I fancied a gille! lol. x

    I can see why you like this layout Kat, it is so 'useable'. I might double case it off of you!!

    Lovely to see a feminine bicycle image too…as you know, my bikes images are always about the boys!

    It's beautiful Kat, I love this shape too. The die is such a lovely shape, and your layout on it is perfect. I love the circle image shape on it, it just suits it so well.

    Yes.... such a fabulous idea to CASE yourself - I think I may give it a go too! This is a fabulous card... that's a lovely simple image but made special by what you put around it. I agree about the sentiment too.... it's in my 'pinched ideas' part of my mind...... and soon enough you'll see it!

    Big hugs

    That card shape is my favourite Go Create big die and the only one I own, (not for coveting a bunch of others!LOL) so I'm with you on the card shape choice. I LOVE it. Your fabulous design looks great with the lettering around the edge and the lovely magnolia branches. I always love how fabulous your stitching looks too. It really finishes the design so beautifully. I really need to rearrange my craft room so I can set up my sewing machine permanently. Anyway, long way of saying 'I love your gorgeous card'. Hugs, Wends x
