Best Wishes

As you ride off into the sunset...

Good morning!  Today I'd like to share this cool card I made for one of my co-workers who's last day with us was Friday.  He's an avid biker so I already pictured what I wanted to do for his card.  =D


Besides using that cool MFT bicycle die I also used that MFT sunray background.  I had so much fun using my Prima color bloom sprays on the background.  The colors transformed the plain white paper to mimic a sunset.  I colored the Island Scrapbooking laser cut sentiment with ink from an MFT inkpad.  It matches the blue paper that is bordering the background.  I almost left it as is then I spotted a stamp that I had yet to color, Ian from the Together Anywhere set.  He was perfect here.


I used silver foil cardstock for the bike and created a shadow using some blue cardstock. Can't believe I hadn't used that bike die sooner.  It's so cool!


I've been consciously trying to add something personal to the inside of each card.  For this one I had some scrap strips left over so gluing them together I added it to the side and then using a few Walter & Winnie sentiment stamps finished off the card.


So sad that Son left, but we all wish him well in his next adventure.  As he rides off in to the sunset I think I'll also sign off before the sun rises!!  hahaha!   Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!!

Wow Leanne, this is THE perfect theme for Son the bicyclist. I like how you used silver foil cardstock for the bike too. Looks so cool with the sun background. Have a great week.

You really put your talent into this card. I love everything about it! The colors and images are outstanding. I will have to get that bike die (great shadow effect). The boy looks a bit like my son so I will probably be purchasing that stamp in the future, too. Thanks for sharing your graphically inspiring work.
