Flowering bike

Hello lovely people,

I made this card back in August for my Mum's birthday and somehow it has slipped through the net for blogging so I thought I's share it today.

This card has a very Summery vibe to it; I can't believe it's now November and Autumn...and it will soon be Christmas - eek!

The stamp is quite a large one so I actually made this a 7" card, which I almost never do but it was definitely the right choice in this case.

I really enjoyed colouring this beautiful image, partly because it's just really pretty and partly because I used my favourite colours :-)

I added pearl details to both the image and the border.  I always forget about my border punches but I should use them more...this one is so lovely.

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