Mountain Bike Card

Hello,

I have a co-worker that asked if I could make a birthday card for her son. Her parents want to get him a mountain bike for his birthday but want him to go pick it out with them so she thought they could give him a card with a mountain bike theme to tell him they are going together to get him a new bike.

Here's the card:

I made the background with distress inks and a sponge. I learned how to make the mountain scene by watching this video: How to Make a Background of Mountains. Pumice stone was used for the mountains and tumbled glass for the sky. I cut out a black frame and the pieces for the bike. I embossed the black bike pieces (except the tire) with a stripe embossing folder. I made the design on the tire with a gold marker. I attached all the bike pieces together, coiled the thin wire around the brads and attached them, and attached the bike to the background.

On the inside, I stamped a simple Happy Birthday.

I am entering these challenges with this card:

Thanks for looking!

Baking Card

Hello,

I made a birthday card for my supervisor at work. She loves to bake and the color yellow so I made her this card:

I cut a 1 and 1/4 by 5 amd 1/2 strip and three 1 inch squares for the counter. I stamped them with the woodgrain background stamp and used gathered twigs distress ink to color them brown. I added silver brads as the handles.

The stove is cut out rectangles, colored with gray markers and a stamped cookie from the stamp set milk and cookies. The other stamped images are from milk and cookies and baked with love stamps. I colored in all of the stamped images. I then fussy cut them out.

The white background was embossed with a brick embossing folder. I used the baked with love stamp and drew/colored a frame.

For ther inside of the card, I stamped "have a sweet birthday" from the baked with love stamp set and drew/colored a frame to match the frame on the front of the card.
