4 challenges inspired today's card...

Addicted to Stamps & More // #ATS&M513 ...A theme challenge!!  BIRTHDAY is the theme of this current challenge.  Happy Day...our day...a vintage bike to celebrate you!

Freshly Made Sketches // #FMS729 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was perfect for showcasing the collection of challenges I wanted to pull together in today's card.

Little Red Wagon // #LRW851 ...A theme challenge!!  STILL ROCK AND ROLL TO ME...a vintage or retro challenge!!  When I saw this challenge in my news feed, I right away thought of this vintage bike stamp that is retired from Stampin Up.

Can You Handle The Pressure // 28MAR26 ...An embossing challenge with an optional twist!!  The theme for this current challenge...KIDS!!  While this card has a vintage feel, I was thinking about how a kid would love seeing someone ride a bike like this and depending on the child even want to give it a try.  I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder as a backdrop for this vintage bike and added some ink to give it a vintage feel.
