Birthday Bicycle

Here’s my card for this week’s Our Craft Lounge sketch challenge. I used the Out for a Spin set for this week’s sketch. I thought the sketch’s large panel would be perfect for the set’s bicycle image.

I colored the bicycle with Copic markers and drew in a grassy patch under the bike. I added soft blue sky with my airbrush, too. The gift box was stamped on a scrap of pink cardstock and dotted with Liquid Pearls (on the bow), then cut out and attached to the back of the bicycle with foam tape.

I paired the bicycle image with some delicate patterned paper from the Indie Girl line. I attached a strip of green striped twill to the cardfront on an angle, then layered on the matted image panel. Once the image panel was in place, I added a matching bow made with my Bow Easy.

The “happy birthday” sentiment from the Tweet Thang set completes the design. I matted it on a scalloped oval and used foam tape to set it off from the image panel.
