I was lucky to win a couple of Unity Itty-Bitty stamps recently. Thanks Corrie! One of the stamps I picked was this very sweet bicycle. I used Sakura Glaze pens to colour it, and I love the effect. The silver pen was perfect for all the metallic areas on the bike. I used a hodge-podge of papers because I was supposed to be cleaning my desk! So there is Prima, Fancy Pants, MME, Authentique, Basic Grey and a b'ground of Core'dinations Whitewash on a base of Bazzill card stock. Crazy ! The adorable "hello" die is from Simon Says Stamp. I cut it twice, there is a blue-green piece in behind as a shadow. The top "hello", I covered in clear embossing powder. The arrow is a TH grunge piece, I painted red and also covered with embossing powder. I also used SB Labels Eight. I don't know who the twine is from, but I'd be willing to bet that it is a different company than all the others on this card! LOL!
I am entering the
