Like the sympathy card that I created the other day, I also found great inspiration once again from the net for this card.

Trimming Kraft card stock to form a card and then inking up the Friendship Definition stamp with Antique Linen distress ink, I stamped over the card, setting this aside to work on the rest of the card. Next, trimming white card stock to fit the base of the card and choosing the Bicycle stamp set, I took one of the bicycles from this set, inked up with some black ink and stamped onto the card stock. Taking different sentiments from Anytime Messages, Thoughtful Messages and Thank you for Being My Friend stamp sets, I inked the different sentiments up using Punch and Antique Pewter ink, stamping in different directions around the bicycle for a unique effect. Once the ink had time to dry I applied a dusting of Antique Linen and Vintage Photo to the edges of the card stock, then adhered the white card stock to the card front and a lastly adding some twine to the top of the card stock to complete the card.
Just a little note before I depart, if you would like to know more about what I used or how I created any of my cards, please ask through the "Ask Me Questions" that is located at the top of my blog. I have had several questions coming through comments on my blog, and I cannot respond to these questions this way, I would love to be able to respond back to the questions, so if you can do that favour for me I would be very grateful. Thanks!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Hugs

I am amazed, how simple your cards are but on the other hand, how much they express. I don't know other artist, who is so minimalistic like you and so good at it. Big WOW! I tried to make my cards so minimalistic and sorry, I can't-too hard for me!
BTW: you have a very nice studio!
