Bicycle of Hearts!

Hey Girls! Well I must say that I am glad that it is nearly the end of the week, what a week I have had, one in which I would like to forget, so I am hoping for a relaxing weekend ahead, how about you? Any major plans on the agenda?

Today I thought that I would share another card created using the Bicycles stamp set from Hero Arts.

I took Kraft card stock, trimmed to size to form a card. Taking Punch paper and a heart punch, I punched several hearts out of the paper and applied some Barn Door distress ink and some red pearls to match. Next, taking one of the bicycles from the stamp set, I inked up with some black ink and stamped directly onto the card front, colouring in the handle bars with white gel pen, also adding white gel pen lines around the edge of the card to frame the image. I adhered the hearts to the card using foam dimensionals and drew strings down to the bicycle, making it look as though the hearts were balloons. Lastly, I added a sentiment to the base of the card from the All Occasion Messages stamp set to complete the card.

A fairly simple one layered card, I urge you all to try to create one layered looking cards, they really are fun!

Okay so I have lots and lots to do on my to do list today, so that I can have a free weekend, hopefully crafting and gardening is on the agenda for then.

Sending you all happy crafting hugs!
