Wheely Sweet ~ CMCC58, RS152, & FM196

Good morning all!  It's time for Colour Me Card Challenge 58!  This week we've got striking duo of Cherry Cobbler and Pink Pirouette.  Perfect Valentine's Day colors!

Along with our challenge colors I also used the sketch from Retro Sketches 152 and I'm also entering into the Friday Mashup 196 which used pink and red and a love theme.  

I love to browse Pinterest for inspiration and a while back I pinned this photo of a pink bike.  I knew I wanted to use the inspiration in a card someday.  For some reason I had it in my head that the bike was polka dotted.....now that I actually see the inpiration photo it's obviously not.  

Anyhow, I used my gel pen to make the dots on the bike.  I also cut out a little basket from vellum, pieced it on and added some hearts punched from the Owl Builder punch.  

I used three different stamp sets to make this card.  The little bike is from a retired set called {Moving Forward}, the sentiment is from {Cycle Celebration}, and the polka dots in the background are from {Best Day Ever} from the new Sale-a-bration.  I thought the dots matched my not-so-perfect polka dots on the bike.

As usual, make sure you check out the other designers for Colour Me this week!

Fun Thanks

It's another happy Saturday and time for the latest Dynamic Duos color challenge!  This week is the soft and subtle combo of So Saffron and Certainly Celery.  I did not have any Certainly Celery left in my stash, so I subbed in Pear Pizzaz.  My jumping off point was the color combo of course, but I mixed in the sketch from Try Stampin' On Tuesday.

I thought the cute little trike from the Moving Forward set would be a nice fit for this cheerful color combo.  I also found some fun designer paper from Floral District and Pawsatively Prints II to get this card going.  I stamped the trike in Pear Pizzaz, cut it out with a labels die and layered it on a hand cut label.  Sometimes the next size up die is to large for layering on a project, so I traced around the outside of the same die I used on the trike and did some hand cutting.  This makes a nice little layering piece.  I added the punched flowers for a 3-D ellement.  The one below the basket is placed there because of an ink smear.  I was happy to find a way to cover it up!  The little frog layered on punch circles brings a little more whimsy and fun.  The last thing   I did was add some glitter glue to the frog's hop trail, and the trike.  

Make sure you pop on over and visit the blogs of the other design team members!  They have all delivered tons of inspiration!
