cQc #136: STAMPIN' UP!'S PEDAL PRESENTS

I had one more card to design for my upcoming Autumn-Winter Mini classes, and had got as far as deciding on the stamp set (Pedal Presents) and paper (Attic Boutique) I wanted to use.  My original colour choices just weren't working .... and then I saw this week's challenge at ColourQ.  These colours sure were a challenge, but I like the fresh, simple card I ended up with.






Please forgive the photography of my card - I had to take the pic inside, on a dull day.  I have used a Crumb Cake card base, as Whisper White card doesn't cut it for this purpose.  The bike is stamped in Always Artichoke, and I love that it looks less stark than if it'd been stamped in Basic Black.  The little basket is paper-pieced (with spotty Pear Pizzazz paper).





Stamps: Pedal Presents, Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Starburst jumbo stampin' around wheel
Card: Crumb Cake, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White
DSP: Pear Pizzazz Patterns Designer Series Paper, Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper
Ink: Always Artichoke, Pear Pizzazz, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight and Crumb Cake stampin' pads, Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight markers
Other: Word Window and Modern Label punches, Beautiful Wings embosslits, stamp-a-ma-jig, Basic rhinestones, sponge daubers, Always Artichoke seam binding, paper snips, mini glue dots

    I love your butterflies and rhinestones as embellishments. What a great touch using the DSP Pear pizzazz for the basket.
